Hi,

you should try to download and install ndiswrapper 0.7 from their website on sourceforge. this is the version i am using and it worked fine without any problems.

i'm not sure why the emerge fails, but i know the newer the version of ndiswrapper software the better it works. they do a lot of changes in each version.

hope this helps somewhat.

cheers

Thanks for your idea, I made an ebuild for 0.7 version and it compiles fine but when I load ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper module, all seems well but when I run 'iwconfig' it doesn't show me my wireless interface.

How can I debug this?

I'm not sure the best way to debug this..

you can check to make sure the modules are loaded with "lsmod"

you can check your internet connection with "iwconfig"
you can check the connection in general with "ifconfig"
you can check to see if you can connect to the internet with "dhcpcd"
you can check the wireless card driver with "lspci"
you can check the driver loaded with "ndiswrapper -l"

hope this helps somewhat...

let me know if you need more help and i will see what i can come up with

eth1 is my ethernet over IEEE1394 device.

kernel info (dmesg):

hi,

i was setting up my laptop eth0 at work.

after it was plugged in and detected it didn't show up under ifconfig until i did a dhcpcd eth0...

have you tried after loading ndiswrapper to do dhcpcd on the wlan0 card yet?

if you need to do it manually, there is good information on how to setup a static IP in the gentoo handbook under manually setting up networking to continue the installation process.

let me know if this helps and i will try other things.

cheers,
Pasquale

I disabled APCI option from my kernel options, and I have new error in kernel messages.
