Hi,
I've just downloaded DSL 2.2b and I would like to acces my WLAN.
I've installed the Windows XP driver of my wireless card using ndiswrapper (the same driver that works with Knoppix) and ndiswrraper -l says: "hardware present". Fine!
Unfortunately, iwconfig doesn't find any wlan0.
dmesg says :

ndiswrapper (import:134): Unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:ObfDereferenceObject
ndiswrapper (load_driver:1829): Unable to prepare driver

Any idea about this?

Please tell us more detail of your WLAN card (brand name, model and firmware version). Did you see any *.inf and *.sys files in your WLAN d river CD?

My wireless card is a Trendnet TEW-423PI. I got the .inf and the .sys files from the installation CD. I also dowloaded the latest driver from the web but it's the same as on the CD.
This card works both from Knoppix and from VectorLinux with this driver.
