Hey all...I am a *nix newb and having some difficulty with ndiswrapper, mostly because I need to get the drivers off of my usb thumb drive since I have no net connectivity. It is for a dlink g630...first off...I am having some difficulty mounting the usb drive.

I am trying a mount -t vfat /dev/sda /path....

but I dont know what the hell i am doing. I think I can follow the ndis documentation but first I need to get the damn driver off the USB drive!

Just type:

mount /dev/sda1

from a terminal window.

Or open Emelfm and navigate to the /mnt directory.

Then right-click on "sda1" and choose "Mount" from the menu.

well shortly after I posted this I figured it out...however, now I am having some ndiswrapper issues
I ran ndiswrapper -i /home/dsl/download/net5211.inf
and then ndiswrapper -l
which yields:
net5211 driver present, hardware present

then modprobe ndiswrapper --- no errors
and yet i still cannot use wireless card (Which BTW is a dlink dwl-g630...any ideas??
