WiFi

Oh, hai, guys i got a problem about the wifi connection, my wireless card is a Marvell 88w8335 [Libertas], i've installed the Windows Drivers with ndiswrapper, but when i do iwconfig the output it's that: 

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

ifconfig: 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:84:28:09:D4  
          inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::230:84ff:fe28:9d4/64 Scope:Link

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

I dunno why that don't work, there's the ndiswrapper -l: 

wg311v3 : driver installed
    device (11AB:1FAA) present

And if i type lspci i got the wireless card in the output: 

...
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1)

I hope that u can help me guys, Regards anon.

Re: WiFi

Did you add ndiswrapper to the MODULES array in the rc.conf file?

Try doing a "modprobe ndiswrapper" and then do a iwconfig to check for wlan* devices.

Re: WiFi

Agree with Acecero.
However, show please your 

ifconfig -a

If no wireless interfaces are there, you have to manually load a driver for WiFi.

Re: WiFi

That was plain ifconfig, and not "ifconfig -a", wasn't it?

With ifconfig -a :

Then that means you have no wireless interface at all. Did you try that modprobe command I suggest earlier?

Re: WiFi

hmm... nothing.
OK, then try 

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

and see if it changed ifconfig interface table (via "ifconfig -a").

Re: WiFi

Did you add the interface in rc.conf?

Remove the exclamation point in front of "wlan0":

INTERFACES=(eth0 wlan0)

Re: WiFi

What is the output of 

lsmod
dmesg | grep ndis

To load ndiswrapper at boot, add to your modules array as so

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(ndiswrapper)

Ok, there's the output, i think the problem is that i got a 32 bit driver, and my kernel is 64 bit, i must find a driver for 64 bit, rite? Check the output: 

ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=yes)
ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:150): kernel is 64-bit, but Windows driver is not 64-bit;bad magic: 010B
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:206): couldn't prepare driver 'wg311v3'

Correct.  I have no idea if you can find a 64 bit XP driver for this card, so you might want to go with 32 bit Arch or get a different wireless card.

Re: WiFi

first, 32 Bit will be suitable for this one. and a lot comfortable to use.
unlike 64 bit, you will do lot of configuration just in case an more prone to errors perhaps.

Re: WiFi

I've founded a way for transform the 32 bit driver in 64 bit, i'll try it, if don't work, i'll install arch 32 bit.
