Re: [Ndiswrapper-general] Cannot Connect to Internet

[Ian L. J. <jon...@ya...>]

I apologize for the anticlimax (don't count your
chickens before they hatch I guess...):  after I
restart the computer, it seems that ndiswrapper loads
fine but my wlan0 has now disappeared!  I reinstalled
ndiswrapper 6 again, but no luck.

Regarding the gateway address: I can set the gateway
with the Mandrake Configuration tool.

dmesg output:

ndiswrapper version 0.6 loaded
ndiswrapper adding bcmwl5.sys

[root@Goblin ndiswrapper]# ifup wlan0
ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be present,
delaying initialization.

[root@Goblin ndiswrapper]# iwconfig wlan0 essid
"Southie"
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.

[root@Goblin ndiswrapper]# ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
