linksys wmp11_v4 wireless pci card finally working

It's a common cheap wireless  pci card. I just got it working today so thought i would post it here in case anyone searches for wmp11.

Heres how i got it to work.

The _v4 pci cards use an inproconn chipset. I have it working perfectly with ndiswrapper and this driver ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wmp11_v4_dr.zip

you have to ./configure && make && make install ndiswrapper from source!!! Then load all 3 inf files with 'ndiswrapper -i file.inf'

I added 'wlan0="dhcp"' to rc.conf and added ndiswrapper to the modules. instead of restarting, as root 'modprobe ndiswrapper'

lastly do 'ifconfig wlan0 up', after that either use the gtk wifi-radar or kwifimanager or read some man pages...

I'm stealing my neighbors wireless right now using this card..
