Any ideas? | | -Alex Most of the prism-based cards I have used are rebranded. I used a Senao SL-2511CD Plus EXT2 and an SMC SMC 2532W-B. Both are Prism 2.5-based and work with the current orinoco drivers and are considered the easiest to set-up in Linux, even on RHEL3. Have you tried orinoco_pci? I can't seem to find information on your card anywhere, do you have lspci (or dump_cis if your pci-card is a bridge) output we can use to identify the card? I suspect the error is lack of fully implimenting wireless extensions (what wireless-tools uses) in the ndiswrapper driver.
