Using ndiswrapper with a Linksys wireless card, and here's what i get when I try to start it with /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart:
Code:
* Running preup function
 *   Configuring wireless network for wlan0
 *   Connecting to "any" (WEP Disabled)...                                [ !! ]

 *   Scanning for access points
 *     no access points found
 * Couldn't find any access points on wlan0
 * Failed to configure wireless for wlan0
 * preup wlan0 failed
How do I tell it what IP to connect to or the name of the router? Thanks in advance.

Ok...ifconfig:
Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0E:A6:C6:E4:E1
          inet addr:192.168.0.98  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:76422 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:43557 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:120 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:86089868 (82.1 Mb)  TX bytes:5072214 (4.8 Mb)
          Base address:0xcf80 Memory:fe9e0000-fea00000

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:175 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:175 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:27677 (27.0 Kb)  TX bytes:27677 (27.0 Kb)

Obviously that doesn't really say anything, as wlan0 isn't up and running. HEre's iwconfig:

Code:
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462GHz  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate:54Mb/s   Tx-Power:24 dBm
          RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:100/100  Signal level:-10 dBm  Noise level:-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


Thanks

Hey there,

Give 'ifconfig wlan0 up' a try. You need to start the device.
