wireless problem on laptop
Hi
I can not connect my laptop to my wifi network with knoppix. It works fine in windows XP.
The hardware is
ACER Notebook ASPIRE 1522 WLMI
processor: AMD ATHLON 64-BIT 3000+
60 GB. harddisc and 512 MB. RAM
Wireless LAN 802.11g WiFi network (INPROCOMM chip IPN2220)
I am using Knoppix version 3.7 from cdrom.
The ndiswrapper script didn't work for me so I tried to follow the instructions from the sticky "Success with Knoppix 3.6 and wireless networking"
I can load the driver with ndiswrapper
Code:
ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
neti2220
there is also no problem with
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
lsmod shows that the ndiswrapper module is loaded.
The problem starts with
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid any
this results in
Code:
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
Set failed on device wlan0 : No such device
And that is where I am stuck
Any help is welcome

If you haven't worked it out the latest release of Ndiswrapper is required.
Check the ndiswrapper forums.
