Do you mean the NetworkManager service specifically, or something else? > If no the service , the command ifconfig only says eth0 and lo. > When the service is started, the DNS is changed wrongly. > I try to test it on Unbutu, the driver work well without Network > service. > I had read the FAQ, there is no what I wanted. > Any suggestion is welcomed. The driver should support the Linux Wireless Extensions API (kind of like NDIS on windows), and should work correctly with wpa_supplicant's 'wext' driver. Usually when a card doesn't work well with NetworkManager, the driver is not correctly implementing the Wireless Extensions API, like not correctly handling concurrent requests or the non-ordered nature of WEXT. Also, if the hardware you are developing for is a softmac-type part, I'd encourage you to base it off the kernel's mac80211 stack, which will save you a lot of work especially with WEXT.
