DSL 3.0.1 on LiveCD
Using ndiswrapper, driver LSIPNDS.INF shows to install.
Essid is set correctly.
Lights on the card flash indicating traffic.
Tx/Rx packets exchanged without dropped packets.
MAC addresses for AP and Wireless card are correct.
Encryption is WEP 64 bit but, doesn't apprear to be set as iwconfg wlan0 shows Encryption: Off.

Will not DHCP.
Set up Static IP and Gateway.
Will not ping AP.

Output of ifconfig:

Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend Version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been complied with Version 16, therefore some driver functions may not be avaiable...

What is the Wireless Extension? ndiswrapper

Do I need an updated copy of ndiswrapper?

Has anyone made this Linksys WMP11 V4 work?

Encryption is 64 bit but doesn't appear to be set. That doesn't sound good. Do you mean that your AP requires a WEP key, but that you are having a hard time getting it set in DSL? If so, I think that is your problem.

First, get your connection working without any encryption. Always always always!, especially if you are having difficulties. Turn the encryption of your AP off, and the encryption of your DSL box. Try to get that working. Only after it works can you start playing with WEP.

As for the wireless extension warning, I get that in DSL-N RC2, but my card still works. I'm not sure exactly what it means.

Have you looked at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List
? If not, it might be helpful. No one reporting has tested with DSL, but there is a Debian Sid and FC5. The one using debian (DSL is debian based) says he needed to load three drivers for his one card. Might be worth looking into.

Good luck.

Partial Solution.
Am now talking over a neighbors hub w/o encryption. This is from DSL and the problem child wireless card.
Next, I will shut encryption off on my hub and give it another try.

Once sucessful, I'll post a play by play.

Thanks for the tip, Winter Knight
