Hi, My wireless card is a ASUS WL-138g. The lspci output is: iris:~ # lspci -s 0000:00:05.0 0000:00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Galileo Technology Ltd.: Unknown device 1fa6 (rev 07) iris:~ # lspci -nv -s 0000:00:05.0 0000:00:05.0 Class 0200: 11ab:1fa6 (rev 07) Subsystem: 1043:138f Flags: 66Mhz, medium devsel, IRQ 11 Memory at dffd0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at dffc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 iris:~ # lspci -v -s 0000:00:05.0 0000:00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Galileo Technology Ltd.: Unknown device 1fa6 (rev 07) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 138f Flags: 66Mhz, medium devsel, IRQ 11 Memory at dffd0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at dffc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 After insmod ndiswrapper I am trying to set ESSID. But the iwconfig command hangs so badly that I cannot get any response from my keyboard anymore. Luckily I can get to the system via the LAN and I am able to kill iwconfig. This brings the system back to live. I've build ndiswrapper from CVS as of 2004-07-26 19:47 (+0200) and I've done it with DEBUG=1 Here are some lines from syslog so that you can see the load was OK.

Jul 26 21:15:36 iris kernel: ndiswrapper (set_essid:46): ssid = 'Bart' Here the iwconfig command hangs and the system does not respond to the keyboard anymore. The light of the WL-138g is flickering. It is very well possible that the AP is not close enough or that the signal is bad. Unfortunately I don't have my own AP to play with, so I have no control over that. Does anyone have the WL-138g working alright? Any help would be appreciated. Kees |

I was only reffering to the radio, because I thought the driver was hanging until it got a reply from the AP. And no, there is no hardware button. When I try the 'iwlist wlan0 scan' command, it hangs in the very same way. Jul 26 22:49:45 iris kernel: ndiswrapper (iw_set_scan:856): Enter Then it hangs. Same as with my 'iwconfig wlan0 essid Bart' command I am able to kill it. I have no idea what the driver is doing at that point. Kees |
