Re: Wireless network adapter: ndiswrapper loaded, but cannot connect to network



You can find the chipset by doing 'lspci', and looking for the line
that corresponds to your pcmcia card.

Hmmm... I called lspci in verbose mode (I actually did it the first
time you asked), but nothing comes back that looks like a chipset
definition:

# lspci -vvm
Device: 02:00.0
Class:  Network controller
Vendor: Broadcom Corporation
Device: BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
SVendor:        Linksys
SDevice:        WPC54G
Rev:    02

What happens when you do 'dhclient eth0'?

Well, I am on a network, using an ethernet cable connected to eth0
(otherwise, I wouldn't be able to post this ;) but here's that output:

# dhclient eth0

I also tried it for eth1 and got that SIOCSIFFLAGS error again:

You can also check dmesg and syslog for any errors or warnings from
ndiswrapper.

Will do, and thanks for the suggestion; it's probably related to
whatever SIOCSIFFLAGS means...

BTW, please reply to the list, not to me.

Yes, sorry about that, I hit "reply" without thinking.
