I notice someone else is having issues w/ MA111 and Knoppix. I have searched this group. There are lots of tips for getting it to work with prism.
Is it at all possible to make it work with ndiswrapper?

I have copied the driver files, done ndiswrapper -i .inf file.
also done modprobe ndiswrapper.

iwconfig
gives
"no wireless extensions"

ifconfig wlan0 up
gives
Error while getting interface flags: no such device

Is the consensus recommendation not to bother with ndiswrapper?
