Hi,

I searched the forum and saw one post on a Linksys WCP11 V4.0 wireless card and tried what they suggested, but I still can't get it working.  I ran ndiswrapper successfully, but the pump command is failing.  Also, how can I specify the network name to connect to?  Has anyone had success with this wireless card, and if so, could you help me?

thanks!

There is a writeup on such card located here

In summary:

Grab the Windows 2000 driver (v173) from the realtek site
Copy NET8180.INF and rtl8180.sys to your home dir

Use the ndiswrapper GUI and enter fields especially the driver enter NET8180.INF

or use the following as an example to fetch dynamic IP

1. ndiswrapper -i NET8180.INF
2. ndiswrapper -l
3. modprobe ndiswrapper
4. iwconfig     this will show an unconfigured card
5. iwlist wlan0 scan      will show access points
6. iwconfig wlan0 essid your_essid_here
7. iwconfig wlan0 key xx:xx:xx:....
8. pump -i wlan0

I need to jump in right here and add my lament:
I have a Compaq Armada 1750 laptop with the freaded WPC11, ver 4 card in it.  I also cannot get it to work.  My other OS is ME and the card works when I am running ME.  I have followed your excellent instructions but when I try the command "iwlist wlan0 scan" I get an error message indicating that no such device exists.  When I run the "ndiswrapper -l" it states hardare is present.  I am determined to fight this battle through to the end, with a little help from my friends at dsl forums!

This might possibly suggest a hardware issue.
I would at least try some combinations of boot options such as...

pnpbios=off
pci=bios
noapic

I haven't had any luck with my card yet either.  I followed the procedures above, and keep getting:

modprobe ndiswrapper:
dmesg:

ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_load_driver: 108): couldn't load driver 'lsrtnds'

ndiswrapper: driver lsrtnds (cisco-linksys, ...) loaded.

I also tried with the NET8180.INF driver and same result.

I will try the new suggestions you added.

Thanks!
