Networking :: Linksys wireless on laptop

Trying to get linksys wireless card ( WPC54G ) working on a gateway laptop with a frugal install (2.4.31). I copied the drivers and ran " ndiswrapper -i /home/dsl/LSBCMNDS.inf ". When i do " ndiswrapper -l " it says driver present, hardware present. When i do " iwconfig " it says no wireless extensions. My question is what is the next step? Am i missing something?

Please read this. It may help you.

hm... so you said to ndiswrapper which Device needs the driver and you get nor Error and it doesn`t work?
maybe you try it wih Linux firmware for your device, just google.

i tried following the instructions in the other post ... but when i do "iwconfig wlan0" i get "wlan0 No such device" ... how do i get wlan0 to be seen as a device? Is this evidence that the driver is not working? Also, if i do wlcardconfig i get no wireless network card found ... in case that helps

You should run ndiswrapper -m command after ndiswrapper -l :-

Code Sample

ndiswrapper -i filename.inf
ndiswrapper -l

Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present

ndiswrapper -m

Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.conf

Please try again. Good luck
