  1. Hi Folks Thank you to all took the time out to help me with this one :-) I managed to get the ndiswrapper to compile from source and it is working great. Cheers SuperPlay
  2. I had the same issue under Mandriva 2006 free. If I used "Set-up a new network interface" under netowrk and control panel withing "configure your computer" I managed to get this working by manually configuring this through the konsole. Go to the console and: su to switch to root user ndiswrapper -l this will list installed drivers ndiswrapper -e followed by each driver listed to remove each driver mdiswrapper -l make sure the list is blank Download a driver for your card from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List Use a driver from here if posiable as these are verified drivers, extract and save this in a folder Download for example At the console prompt change to the directory where you copied the driver too ndiswrapper -i filename.inf instal driver (Specify your driver .inf file) ndiswrapper -l to ensure your driver is listed Now you should see something like, showing your driver if not we have an issue!: Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present now at the konsole enter: ndiswrapper -m depmod -a modprobe ndiswrapper You will then need to configure your IP addressing etc. Select the "configure your interface line" http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...hp/Installation Hope this helps SuperPlay
  3. Devries you are a superstar! Thanks I have managed to compile and install the latest ndiswrapper. Hey it even works ;-) Cheers SuperPlay
  4. Hi Jaraeez Thank you for you reply. I ran iwpriv eth1 and it returded something like "No Available private ioctl" I am going to attempt to compile the latest ndiswrapper to see if it is Driverloader causing the issue. If not I will buy another wireless nic. Cheers SuperPlay
  5. I am running Mandriva 2006 and uname -r shows 2.6.12-12mdk I have downloaded the following files: NDIS Wrapper 1.7 source http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...lease_id=376633 kernel-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/26/di...-1-1mdk.src.rpm then: copied the source to home/me/download/ndiswrapper-1.7 installed kernel-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm installed make log on as root ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-12mdk /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk/build make distclean make This fails as it can not find the kernel sources, I change directory to /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk directory there is a build folder.

  6. Hi chalex20 Thanks for the reply. I have tried minimising the window and it does not show the error and keeps the bar locked. I have to alt+tab to get back to the console window. I saw this same issue when I tried Mandrake 10.x a while ago. Like the idea of the hidden error casing the bar lock. SuperPlay
  7. Can someone confirm if the command "iwconfig eth1 mode monitor" works with Mandriva 2006 Free? I am using PCCARD by the way. SuperPlay I have been working on this for soooooooooo long my hair looks like this
  8. Still going for this! Looking at the issue I am going to attempt to get the driver working using the ndiswapper to see if "driverloader" is the issue with me runnning ifconfig eth1 mode monitor Does anyone have a link to the latest version of the ndiswrapper for Mandriva 2006 free using 2.6.12-mdk I can only find source rpm files. Thanks SuperPlay
  9. I have loaned another card this time a DLINK DWL-650+ installed the drivers etc Guess what! The same bloody error.
  10. Hi I am new to Mandriva 2006 and am not sure if this is the norm. When logged on as a standard user, I have set a "run as different user" for console so it runs under root. When I open the console and enter the password for root the console opens and is operational as expected. However it seems to disable the use of the start bar until the console is closed. If other applications are open I can select these on the desktop just fine. It seems to only lock the bar. When console is closed the following error is shown "KDEInit could not launch 'kdesu'." Is this expected operation?
  11. Hi scarecrow Thanks for the reply, however I still have the issue. I have also set the other nic not to start on boot. SuperPlay
  12. Thanks for the information Just need to work out why iwconfig monitor is failing now! https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=30209
  13. Seems to work with Linuxant installed. SuperPlay
  14. After 12 hours on the task solid, I have managed to install my wireless NIC to Mandriva 2006 using linuxant. The goal is to use airodump to audit wireless points. The tutorial which I have says to put the NIC into monitoring mode using the command iwconfig eth1 mode monitor however when I enter this command as room (my wireless nic is eth1) the following error is shown Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device etch1 ; Invalid argument Help! Cheers SuperPlay
  15. Hi Folks I have just installed Mandriva 2006 onto my laptop and am attempting to get my Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A wireless NIC to work (PCCARD) and failing. Looking here: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/thread30604-1.html It says that the card should work "I use a Buffalo G54 (WLI-CB-G54A) via ndiswrapper 0.12 and the bcmwl5a.inf" AbsoluteValue Systems lists the card http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz However I can not get it to work on my system: I have downloaded the XP drivers directly from Buffalo for the card however bcmwl5a.inf does not exists so I downloaded file R76521 from Dell which did. Each time I select "Use a windows driver (With ndiswrapper version which came with Mandriva) the driver fails with the error "unable to find NDSIwrapper interface" I have so fat tried the following .inf files From the buffalo driver download net2pg54 netcbg54 netbwc2k From the dell download bcmwl5a bcml5 If I look under NICs in hardware the card is shown as aL Broadcom Corp BCM94306 802.11g Vendor: 5348 Device ID: 17184 SubVendor: 4436 Sub device ID: 804 Help! Cheers SuperPlay
