modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyRandomEssid"
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
*or*
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0
Edit:
nevermind, ndiswrapper sees it, and iwconfig wlan0 works. Where do I go from here?
]]>Ah on ndiswrapper -l it says the driver is present, but it doesn't say harware is present. Could that be the problem?
yup... what card do you have? and what driver are you using?
]]>OCNubStylee; Yes that is a problem...is the card a card that you can turn off in any way? like on my laptop I can press a button to turn wireless on/off
]]>ndiswrapper 173368 0
Is that normal?
Edit:
Ah on ndiswrapper -l it says the driver is present, but it doesn't say harware is present. Could that be the problem?
]]>or to be exact it is an broadcom 9xxxxx something
hahaha, mine is *exactly* a broadcom something-or-other
]]>Cybertron: you have a card that works with bcmwl5? Mine bombs with 5.... I need to use bcmwl5a (part of the me driver)
]]>lsmod would give you the answer to that
next, is the driver correctly loaded?
ndiswrapper -l (small L) would give you
$ ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
#iwconfig wlan0
it gives:
wlan0 No such device
How can I get this working?
