I seem to be doing something wrong, or I did not install something that I need installed. My USB drive is able to get detected and mounted.

The thing that stumps me, is that ndiswrapper, from the command line, tells me:

root@box~: ndiswrapper -l
g120 driver installed, hardware NOT present

What the...

I tried rebooting the PC a few times, tried starting hotplug usb again, but nothing seems to turn the sucker on. What am I doing wrong???

BUMP!!!

What, doesn't anyone know what to do?

Someone else who has done it might know. Anyone else would just have to guess.

A little googling around led me to believe that this device uses atmel drivers. There is an usb atmel driver .dsl available in the system section of the mydsl repository. You might want to try that.

What? Is there someway I can access the repository to get it?

Ok, I downloaded the files I needed, HOWEVER!! When I run the files as dsl, using mydsl-load , I type the location in, and then the icons refersh, like if you were refreshing a windows desktop. And nothing happpens. I don't get it..

Alright, I read bout ndiswrapper, if it says that the driver is installed, but the hardware IS not detected, then ndiswrapper can use the driver, but it can't use it with your hard ware. The thing is, I used these drivers before on linuxant.com and EVEN ndiswrapper in ubuntu, and they are the same and it worked before.. THis is really starting to disappoint me.

Without having your card, all anyone can do is to make suggestions. Which have been readily shared. Sorry I cannot offer more.
