I recently purchased a TRENDnet TEW-423PI adapter for my PC. The wireless adapter works great under windblows but does not work with ndiswrapper. Per the List page I downloaded the netgear WG3111v2 driver files and tried the packaged ones on the CD that came with the card. I get the same result with both: [root@orahome1 ~]# ndiswrapper -l No drivers installed [root@orahome1 ~]# ndiswrapper -i netgear/Driver/Windows\ XP/wg311v2.inf Installing wg311v2 [root@orahome1 ~]# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: wg311v2 driver present lspci shows: 01:07.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown device 1faa (rev 03) Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown device 1faa Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at feac0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fead0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Machine is using Fedora Core4 with the 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp kernel. The computer itself is a Dell GX270 and this is the only card installed at this time. Any help would be appreciated. -Bennett |

Ndiswrapper comes in two parts (1) a user-space part that does the stuff above, and (2) a kernel module that actually calls the Windows driver. After you do the above, send us any error messages that result, and the results of an 'iwconfig' command. I would expect the Ethernet controller listed above to be a wired connection. Did lspci show any wireless devices? Larry |

I guess the driver for wg311v2 (if that uses marvell chipset) is meant for different pci id. You should create an alias for your pci id for wg311v2 driver with 'ndiswrapper -d' option. BTW, driver from marvell.com should be preferred as it is more recent and supports power management, whereas wg311v2 driver is a bit old. If you want to use driver from marvell.com, uninstall wg311v2, install marvell's driver, and if necessary (if 'ndiswrapper -l' doesn't report 'hardware present'), create an alias as explained above. -- Giri |

Giridhar, Thanks for the information. Downloaded the driver from marvell.com and now it is loading: [root@orahome1 DRV]# ndiswrapper -i MRV8335A.inf Installing mrv8335a Forcing parameter AdhocGMode|1 to AdhocGMode|0 Forcing parameter AdhocGMode|1 to AdhocGMode|0 [root@orahome1 DRV]# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: mrv8335a driver present, hardware present Once again thanks. -Bennett Giridhar Pemmasani wrote: >I guess the driver for wg311v2 (if that uses marvell chipset) is meant >for different pci id.
