Hi, I have been trying to get an obscure PCMCIA card working
under ndiswrapper and I now have it recognised, but it doesn't
connect. I have discovered that the existing config files were
for the usual wireless device that I use and MAC address
specific. I have moved them.
When I try and use the Windows Wireless Drivers program from the
menu, and select the configure driver option, it is greyed out
and I cannot use it. Any thoughts, aside from pulling back one of
the other configs and changing MAC address?
This is on an ancient x30 thinkpad running xUbuntu 12.04.
Yes, The PCMCIA card has a power LED and a Link LED. The Power one
comes on after the Modprobe Ndiswrapper command.
PM.
I'm guessing you've seen this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper and
followed it through. By the sounds of it, the card should be working
fine. I would try changing the MAC address on an existing config file
and see if that works.
What kind of network are you trying to connect to and what security
does it have?
Cheers,
Dean

Yes, That is the link that I have been trying to use.
My home network has WPA2 encryption and eventually I want to connect to
that. I have fired up a netgear router with Default configuration, no
security, at the moment as a first step. When I do iwconfig it shows me
an ESSID: off/any.
As I noted earlier when I try and use the wireless config tool, all
options are greyed out so I can't edit anything. That's why I want to
find a config file to edit manually.
Above all I am concerned that usually I use a zd1211 wireless USB stick
and it's configuration might be mucking up or somehow affecting my
set-up for the PCMCIA card.
Cheers,
Peter
