Guest ShadowCrawler Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I have just installed mandrake 10.1 on a DELL latitude 640. Now I want to use my wireless pcmcia card but I can install it. Hardrake reconizes it but wen i want to config the wireless netwerk it ask for the driver. I choose orinoco_cs, but it doesn't accapt it. I'm still new to linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I have the same with mine, you'll prob be needing to use ndiswrapper. Do a google on "ndiswrapper" and you'll get the link to the site, and all the info you need to get it sorted :P Any probs, post back, and we'll see what we can do.

arctic Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Take a look here for ndiswrapper. https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=14972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShadowCrawler Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 first I put this in modprobe.conf alias wlan0 ndiswrapper install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver 168C 0013 /etc/ndiswrapper/ntpr11ag.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/ntpr11ag.inf; } then I do # modprobe ndiswrapper I don't get any errors. then I do "iwconfig" and it does't reconize it: [root@localhost ivan]# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. What to do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 After modprobe ndiswrapper, do dmesg - this may give you some clues to any possible errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShadowCrawler Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 [root@localhost ivan]# dmesg ...... eth0: no IPv6 routers present cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3 ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #24 link partner capability of 05e1. eth0: no IPv6 routers present eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #24 link partner capability of 05e1.

Qchem Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 The lack of lines like ndiswrapper: driver ''driver1'' added suggests that the windows drivers haven't been loaded correctly. Additionally, IIRC there may have been a problem with ndiswrapper in that version of mandrake - it may be wise to remove it completely (search this networking forum if you're unsure) and install the latest version from the ndiswrapper site.

Guest ShadowCrawler Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) I installed the newest ndiswrapper and now its working :D I used the drivers from the cdrom that came with my card Edited August 30, 2005 by ShadowCrawler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
