I have a laptop with a belkin wireless card. I followed the wiki to get the ndis wrapper, and it seems to work. Wlan0 is visible, and the card's led is on. However i cannot see the router with iwlist -scan and cannot get it to connect using iwconfig. I put in the essid and key and i still cant scan anything. If I put it in ad-hoc mode I get scan results for any essid i put in, but no connection.
Whats the difference between managed and ad-hoc mode? Any idea why I can't get a connection?
Thanks

I think ad-hoc is for when you want to connect to another wireless device in the neighbourhood. You don't want to use it for connecting to your router.

Thanks for the info. When I am in managed mode I cannot even change the essid. Setting it with iwconfig does not actually change it.
