[Voyage-linux] Re: Compiling drivers for VIA mini pci card ( solomon) vt6655
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 Encryption key:off 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 ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

Hi Sean, Thank you for your feedback. I don't know ndiswrapper module work until now since I never tested it. If you have spare time, please consider sharing your ndiswrapper experience in the wiki (wiki.voyage.hk). Thanks. - Punky Sean wrote: Varadarajan, Do you have a NorhTec box?
