NDisWrapper Prob
I wanted to know if any one got the Linksys WMP54GS. (PCI card with speedbooster)working. I was able to get the drive installed but my computer doesn't read that I have the card in my computer. Right now I have a direct connection to the router but I would like wireless. Please help.

Ok mate,
You need to tell us what distro you are using. If you go to my site, you will find how to set a driver up properly if you're using Ubuntu (also works with Kubuntu) and Linspire. Using that same method, I have done it with Mandriva, Suse, Debian etc so you should be about to work it out. If not, post some technical details. http://studentweb.usq.edu.au/home/W0009132/docs/ Goodluck! |
sorry. I am using SuSe 10. I found I found instructions here. I have the driver installed and configured the card through YaST2. But that did work. So I tried going manually through the terminal and got this.

Looks like you're missing "modprobe ndiswrapper". This loads the ndiswrapper module into the kernel so it gets recognized on iwconfig. After you do that, i'd suggest doing "ndiswrapper -m" which will add it to your modprobe automatic files when you boot up.
Let me know if you need more help :D |
Others may not agree, but try and do as much as you can via the CLI.
I totally agree with crazibri. You NEED to load the module into the kernel and then boot the module. DO THIS VIA THE CLI!! The steps are very logical: 1. Install the Windows driver 2. Check to see if installed correctly 3. Load the module 4. Start the module As easy as that! Good luck, |
thanks now the computer recognizes the hardware is there and I have the driver installed. I used YaST2 to configure it but it didn't take. Now the activity light blinks a few times during start-up on then shuts off. I try using iwconfig. It reconizes it but when I input command there is no change in teh settings. Plu sI can't enter in the key for encryption.

I had luck by adding 0x to the hex key number
