After that I made a new network card in Yast ("wireless" with modul name "ndiswrapper") but "ifconfig" shows me only "eth0" and "lo", there is no wlan0!?
What have I done wrong or what is missing?
edit: /var/log/boot.msg show me this:
Quote:
<4>ndiswrapper: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
<6>ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)

"ndiswrapper -l" Should say "hardware present" if it was installed properly. Also you should look at the output of iwconfig for wlan0. There are also native linux drivers, see the howto here
If I plug in my usb-dongle, /var/log/messages show me:

You might have the wrong windows driver. Just noticed the this is the ma111v2, it will not work with wlan-ng like the v1. The v2 is not on the ndiswrapper card list, only the v1. Hopefully you are not using the v1 drivers. The v2 chipset is sis162, you can get windows drivers here. There were native drivers but some say they didn't work well: get them here or here.

That means, neither linux-wlan-ng driver nor ndiswrapper supports this NetGear MA111
Oh no, because I installed "linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26" driver and hoped it works with my ma111 (i thought it is there on the list (wlan-linux.org...) (had to to do make and so on with my kernel source which takes ~1hour) And then, also no luck with linux-wlan-ng driver and my ma111
Ok, I'll try sis-windows driver now and/or these native driver and will see if I get it to work

ricapitoliamo:
(premessa per chi scarica da windows i files necessari: sia i nomi dei files sia i nomi delle
cartelle NON DEVONO CONTENERE SPAZI, se si vuole dividere una parola dall'altra usare _ )
1) dpkg -i di tutti gli archivi mancanti (alcuni erano sul cd di breezy, altri su internet
dh-make
fakeroot (sul cd di breezy mediante synaptic)
gcc 3-4 e gcc 3-4base
linux-headers-2.6.12-9 e 2.6.12-9-386 (su cd di breezy mediante synaptic)
build-essential (su cd di breezy mediante synaptic)
più tutte le loro dependencies (l'ordine cronologico non è questo, ma il comando dpkg -i
ritorna eventuali pacchetti mancanti se necessari) (è la parte più delicata)
2) scarico il file tar-gz di ndiswrapper-1.10 e lo metto in /home
3) sudo tar xvfz ndiswrapper-1.10
4) (entro nella cartella ndiswrapper-1.10) (cd ndiswrapper-1.10)
5) sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary-modules
6) sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary-utils
7) (esco dalla cartella ndiswrapper-1.10) (cd ..)
sudo dpkg -i (i due .deb appena creati con fakeroot)
9) sudo ndiswrapper -i (percorso file ma111v2.inf del driver per windowsXP del ma111v2,
basta prendere il file e trascinarlo nel terminale)(nella cartella ove c'è .inf ho lasciato
tutti gli altri files, non solo il .inf ed il .sys)
10) sudo depmod -a
11) sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
12) sudo ndiswrapper -m
13) entro in amministrazione/rete e trovo la wlan0 pronta per essere configurata con DHCP o
IP statico, la attivo e tutto OK!!!
