Ndiswrapper & Linksys WPC11 ver. 4
I own an IBM Thinkpad Notebook T22 and I bought a
Linksys WPC11 ver. 4 wireless PC card for it. I was
running Fedora Core 3 and used Ndiswrapper to install
the wireless card. I got it working in minutes and I
was able to configure it with RedHat's
system-network-config utility to specify the WEP key
and the SSID.
Now I am running Debian Testing (Sarge) and decided to
use Ndiswrapper for the card as well. I installed
Ndiswrapper, Ndiswrapper-Utils,
kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-i386,
kernel-source-2.6.8-2-i386 and used module-assistant.
I then installed the Linksys driver NET8180.INF and
when I do a ndiswrapper -l it displays that the
driver is installed and the hardware is present. I
did a modprobe ndiswrapper and added an alias with
ndiswrapper -m. Now I don't know how to configure it
because when i used it on Fedora, I used iwconfig
wlan0 and used RedHat's system-network-config utility.
That command does not exist for some reason and I
find a wlan0 displayed with ifconfig but I can't
configure it.
Anyone have any idea what steps to take and what I am
doing wrong? How do I configure the network interface
wlan0 (ssid, wep key, etc.)?
