Hi I have just installed ndiswrapper, and everything seems ok: ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: m2500 present modprobe ndiswrapper && dmesg ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded ndiswrapper adding m2500.sys PCI: Setting latency timer of device 02:00.0 to 64 wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0c:76:c9:c1:57 using driver m2500.sys But when i do a iwconfig, I have no wlan0 or wifi0 or something else: iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. But if i do an "iwconfig wlan0" I have the following: iwconfig wlan0 Warning : Device wlan0 has been compiled with version 16 of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 12. Some things may be broken... wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412GHz Access Point: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Bit Rate:54Mb/s Tx-Power:20 dBm Sensitivity=-115 dBm RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:100/0 Signal level:-115 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:119 Missed beacon:0 So finaly, the link seems to work (?) Why can't I see it when I do iwconfig? Is there something I can do to change this? Is it without importance? Thank you Cheers, Nico |

You need to upgrade wireless-tools package (or whatever package that contains iwconfig). -- Giri |

That's now better (I can see wlan0 when I iwconfig) but I can't modify it: for example if I set an ESSID, it won't change and stay "" (nothing) and if I set an ip and then want to ping another ip on the wireless network, it freeze my system, and I have to reset it :/ |
