hi, i've already had experience with configuring wireless cards but this time I am defeated...
i've already installed my WG111 on vectorlinux a distro based on slackware, and it worked just fine, but when i try to install it with knoppix it just doesnt work...
i've got knoppix 4.0 and i am running it from live-cd (i dont actually know if this is the cause of my problems)
here's what happens after the installation:
root@0[knoppix]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
netwg111 driver present
now, the wireless card is plugged in but it doesnt recognize it,
i should have read something like:
nerwg111 driver present, hardware present
but there is no way to make this happen, and if i run modprobe ndiswrapper obviously nothing happens, while i know that it should bring it on, and the light should start blinking..
i dont know what to do, since it should just work as always...
thanks for your support
