Hi !

I tired Ndiswrapper and did not have much luck.

1) ndiswrapper -i VNWL.inf   ndiswrapper -i vnwl.inf

The card was not detected at all . After lot of googling around ,I
found that the module may be missing.

Tried lsmod   ndiswrapper was missing.

I tried modprobe ndiswrapper as mentioned in the original artilce.

FATAL module Ndiswrapper was not found.

Again after lot of googling I tried the age old method ,

 insmod lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ndiswrapper.ko.

It worked !

 lsmod shows module ndiswrapper installed.

2) But even though /etc/network/interfaces like you mentioned ,

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid SMC
wireless-key key

 I get with iwconfig 

IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any
 Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
 Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
 RTS thr=2347 B   Fragment thr=2346 B

 Power Management:off
 Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
 Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
 Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


What am I doing wrong ? And if I reboot I have to do insmod again !

Please help !

Cheers

Rad

2008-10-13 Thread varadarajan narayanan
Hi !

PCI card from VIA with Voyage 0.5.2.

- symvers is missing - modules will have no dependencies or modversions

then it go to building modules stage 2
MODPOST 1 modules

/bin/sh : scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory

and then Errror 127 then quits.
