ive installed ndiswrapper used it to install my wireless adapter driver but, now im stuck i cant connect to a network. i opened kwifi it found the networks but whouldnt connect to any. i also tried iwconfig but no luck. and i tried using wifi radar (its what i used with slax) but it needed pytgtk (or somthing like that) and that needed glib i installed three different versions but pytgtk still gave me errors about needing it. so every thing i tried failed can someone tell me another thing to try or what i might of done wrong. please and thank you!
