I do not think you need the ndiswrapper stuff. That's a way to run windows drivers when the linux drivers can't be made to work. But it looks like your rtl8187 kernel module is talking to the wireless chip just fine. It seem now just like a matter of configuration which, as I said before, I find to be a bit "fussy". Anyway, perhaps you can post some feedback again. Do you have an icon for NetworkManager on your panel? It should look like a pair of overlapping computer monitors. If not then you will have to refresh my memory on a couple of things. I believe you did say you had NetworkManager package installed. You might report the output of running this command /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep Network I get this: NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off NetworkManagerDispatcher 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off I believe dja recommended that NetworkManagerDispatcher be running, although I get things to work without that service. If you have the above then you can try /sbin/service NetworkManager status I get NetworkManager (pid NNNNN) is running... If NM is not running, then you need become root and run sbin/service NetworkManager start If you have both of these steps similar to mine, you don't have to post details, just confirm. If you can't get to there, show what you get and describe the difficulties (with error messages if any). Assuming you have the NM icon on your panel, try clicking on it and tell us what you see, If you can't find the icon, perhaps someone else can give more help. - - - By the way, here's some suggestions: When you are answering someone's questions, it makes it easier to follow the conversation if you put your answer after the quoted part of the question. As I did when I replied to your last comment, quoted at the top of this email. And also, delete parts of the conversation that are unimportant to the ongoing part, so that the quoting back-and-forth doesn't go on forever! In this case I deleted all the older stuff that you had at the bottom of your email. In general, this conversational format is called "bottom-posting" and "trimming", and is (largely) preferred when carrying on a conversational exchange on an email list. You will notice that when I do it, I remove all previous signatures, so my name always appears at the bottom, as on a letter. Chopping junk off the bottom also happily gets rid of advertisements -- as a bonus! Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
