RE: [Ndiswrapper-general] wlan0 not recognized

[Jasmeet B. <ba...@as...>]

Thanks Jon,.... but the problem remains, i have checked the case of the
essid and it is correct.

I was hoping someone would have a clue about the "no such device" error i
get when i try to set the "nick" or the "nwid" and whether this shows that
there is something wrong in the setup (see previous mail below)

Thanks

Jas
