Ok fellows - - I am still having problems in getting my NetGear Wireless
card working, so I am in need of some wireless guru to help me out...


The Driver that is installed shows in the attached script, which is
invalid...


Now how does one remove that driver to try another one...???

Using ndiswrapper -r to remove the driver doesn't work, so where is this
driver located, maybe I can manually delete it...???


Any help on getting my wireless card working would be very much
appreciated...


Thanks Larry

I had what looks like exactly that problem last week (different wireless
card, though). I ended up purging ndiswrapper, delete anything left
under /etc/ndiswrapper, then reinstall ndiswrapper.

Which NetGear card is it?* I successfully installed a WG311v3 yesterday and needed to build the latest version of ndiswrapper from Source Forge.* It's working fine, but requires a "modprobe ndiswrapper" command after a reboot.* I must be missing something.

ndiswrapper needs to be added to /etc/modules, that's all.

I still don't understand why "ndiswrapper -m" doesn't do that...

Install ndisgtk:

sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

You can add/remove drivers easily in ndiswrapper with that (it will show
up in Applications|Internet if I recall correctly).

Interestingly enough, I was trying to get an old Linksys WUSB11 2.8
working on my son's laptop last week (works on his desktop) and never
did get it to work. Tried just about everything. Finally my other son
gave me his Dynex PCMCIA card to try; plugged it in, Gutsy informed me
that I needed a restricted driver (Broadcom chipset), provided a link to
download it, I clicked yes, and it loaded the driver. Rebooted and
turned it on in the restricted drivers manager
(System|Administration|Restricted Drivers) and the darn thing came up
with all lights and started working! Blew my mind as I previously had to
do handstands to get a Belkin PCMCIA card to work in the same laptop
(Thinkpad T21).

Hello NoOp,

I downloaded ndisgtk, and tried the .inf file for winxp, that came with
the NetGear wireless adapter, the wg111v2 from there CD...But it does
not seem to connect to the modem downstairs...


I did put the network password in where it shows, password type WPA,
the network name essid I used "gibson" now I am not sure if this is
correct or not...???


But when I try to see what iwlist wlan0 scan tells me it shows the essid
name as "2wire363" Now where would that come from, any idea...???


I'll attach the output of ifconfig, route, and iwlist's scan for you to
look at...


Thanks for the help, I am really in need of it...

Larry

I trust you realize that you don't just get to choose the essid from the
client end - you have to set it in the modem (or use the default - but
that's _never_ a good idea. You probably have no idea how many _different_
networks named "linksys" you can find in the average city core :-) )
