[Ndiswrapper-general] Unable to find access point in Linksys 2.4GHz Wireless-G PCI Adapter (WMP54G)

[Dave L. <sil...@eb...>]

Good morning.

I'm trying to get a PCI WMP54G wlan card up and going but I seem to be 
having an annoying issue.

Now, when I use version 0.6 of ndiswrapper (both using the Fedora Core 
rpm from Dag's Apt Repository and compiling from scratch) everything 
seems to go perfectly until I go to get my essid, and then... nothing.

# iwlist wlan0 scan
returns:
wlan0     No scan results

# iwconfig wlan0 essid USR8054
doesn't work either, despite that being my router's essid. There is no 
WEP encryption being used.

despite my access point router being about 4 feet from it (And I know 
i've managed to get it going elsewhere in the house through win) and I 
also know that I have a "very good" reception of one of my neighbors 
access points, but it finds nothing.

A couple points for your reference. The last lines of dmesg are:
ndiswrapper version 0.6 loaded
ndiswrapper adding bcmwl5.sys
PCI: Found IRQ 6 for device 00:0c.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 6 with 00:06.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 6 with 00:11.2

divert: allocating divert_blk for wlan0
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0c:41:61:7b:21 using driver
	bcmwl5.sys

(Indentation is mine, that's supposed to be on the same line)

iwconfig returns:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

Now, before you jump on the "Use the newest cvs" I get even less further 
along using that. I get up to
# modprobe ndiswrapper
(already ndiswrapper -i'd the driver)
and got:/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/misc/ndiswrapper.o: unresolved 
symbol wait_event_interruptible_timeout
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/misc/ndiswrapper.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/misc/ndiswrapper.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/misc/ndiswrapper.o: insmod ndiswrapper 
failed

Now, I am using a 2.4.22 kernel... is that possibly the problem? Do I 
need to upgrade? Need more information?

Thanks in advance for the help.
