 |
|
I have loaded the driver (yes, the inf-file) for my wireless D-Link DWL G650 network card with ndiswrapper.
When I type lspci my wireless card is not detected, just the other non-wireless card is detected.
Why does not my laptop detect the card? It worked in Ubuntu. |

| Code: | ndiswrapper
Latest version available: 1.2-r1
Latest version installed: 1.2-r1
|
I also discovered this:
| Code: | roxxor_laptop roxxor # ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
net5211 invalid driver!
|
But I used EXACTLY the same driver in Ubuntu and it worked.  |

Try to remove and reinstall the driver.
If it doesn't work, try to upgrade ndiswrapper to version 1.9 (I got this version and it work)

Ok, 1,5 months later.  Now I use ndiswrapper 1.15 and the driver seems to work (ndiswrapper says: "Installed driver: net5211").
So how do I go on from here?
The iwconfig and ifconfig commands just give me eth0 and lo, no any wireless extension.
So please help me. |

Try to start your wireless interface:
ifconfig wlan0 up |
