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.
Looking at the output of your iwconfig command there still seems to be
an issue as the link quality doesn't indicate a connection though the
essid says you are connected, interesting.
Does your router have an IP address for admin tasks and can you log
into it with a browser when you connect with the WiFi card?
Also, I forgot to ask but what make/model is the PCMCIA card?
The PCMCIA card is a Linksys WPC54g revision 5.
After another session, with being logged into the router as you
suggested, It is still not working. It is not shown on the ndiswrapper
page as a supported card, though the revision 4 is. I did see something
somewhere that suggested that the rev 5 card would work with rev 4
drivers, but that didn't work for me.
The logfile on the router was set to 'show all traffic' but did not show
anything from this card.
I have spent some time every evening since before last Friday working on
this, and am now giving up and admitting defeat. I'll move on to my
next problem.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Peter
