ifconfig and iwconfig just show me lo, no eth0, eth1, or anything else. I've attempted to use both ndiswrapper and madwifi but it's always the same story: they say there is no device. I don't understand why lspci would show my wireless device, but nothing in the configs. This is the third wireless adapter I'm attempting to use. This one works great with XP. It's a DWL-AG530 with Atheros chipset.

I very much appreciate any help!!! Thank you!
