thanks i'll give that a try.
I'm not positive, but I believe Ndiswrapper is written to best use the WinXP drivers & not Win98 drivers. So try the WinXP drivers.Originally Posted by zx2max

Yeah try a driver for Windows 2k or Xp....
I'm new to linux too but tonight I had been lucky...Originally Posted by zx2max
with knoppix 4.0.2 (live cd) on a sony laptop without ndiswrapper
I ran iwconfig to see that eth1 was my interface wi-fi because I've got wireless extension...
knoppix@0[knoppix]$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"USR9106"

I had to set ESSID, Access Point and Key of encription with
su root
iwconfig eth1 essid USR9106 ap 00:C0:49:5D:8D:43 key sxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
with xxxxxxx that in ascii is your key (if enabled)
than (with the gateway already DHCP enabled) I ran from menu Network/Internet the Network card configuration (actually I don't remember if I tried it also with knoppix 3.7 o ubuntu 5.10... so I run to try it)
and the system got his IP 192.168.1.2 and so on...
knoppix@0[knoppix]$ ifconfig

i tried using the .inf file in the winxp drivers folder on the dlink cd but i think it is the same file no matter what version of windows. it has the same name in all folders and when i try it i get a msg that says its already installed. now when i do the dmesg i dont understand all the stuff it displays but at the end it says:
Code: Bad EIP Value <3> ndiswrapper (wrapperinit:1645): loadndiswrapper failed (11) check system log for messages from 'loadndiswrapper'

It seems as if that driver file isn't compatible w/ ndiswrapper. You'll have to do alittle googling to find a D-link driver that is compatible w/ your chipset and ndiswrapper. It's unfortunate that ndiswrapper doesn't support more drivers.
i found something at http://www.linux-wlan.org/index.html but i am still trying to figure out how to install it.
one of the steps during the installation asks for an alternate target install root directory on host. What should i enter for a directory?
Is your card compatable with that software? I'm looking @ the FAQ and it lists
The following vendors are selling hardware using a similar design as the Intersil PRISM card. The following vendors have proven to have compatible hardware:
Zoom Telephonics
Intalk/Nokia
Samsung (Korea)
DDBTEL (Taiwan)
GemTek (Taiwan)
MELCO (Japan)
Bay Networks
If you have a card that is not supported by the Linux WLAN project, then you might want to check the Linux Wireless LAN HOWTO ( http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ ), where you can find a list of other known Linux WLAN drivers.
Hi,
I followed the instructions from previous posts to install my wireless card driver and I got it partly working. The driver gets installed successfully but the power led is on but the link led is dimmed. When I try to access a website with a mozilla it says its not found. I think I have the settings properly configured but I am not sure if I am missing anything. I specified the essid, key, channel, access point and mode but I still get this problem. Also, when i go to the control center and go to internet/network, wireless network, all of the options are greyed out and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
