So this is version 3 and I know it is supported with ndiswrapper, as that is what the wiki says.  But I am not sure how to install it with ndsiwrapper.  Is there a howto or anything like that around?  I would really like to know.  Thanks!

I've had some success with the following two commands executed from the console on another flavor of linux:

  ndiswrapper -i <your_windows_file.inf>
  modprobe ndiswrapper

Replace <your_windows_file.inf> with the name of the Windows .inf file for your device.  Make sure the Windows .sys files exist in the same directory.

You can try installing it via commandline or the frontend in DSLPanel.  You can search the forums for similar threads.

...also, you might need to issue pump command (e.g., 'sudo pump -i ath0').

ok so i got the driver off of the linksys website.  and i did ndiswrapper -i lsbcmnds.inf in the /Driver/NT folder of the drivers.  and it seemed like everything worked.  I typed ndiswrapper -l and it said that the driver was installed and the hardware was present.  Then I modprobe ndiswrapper and it said nothing, which seemed good.  But when I type iwconfig, it doesn't see anything. so I ran dmesg and this is what I got:
Code Sample

<6>ndiswrapper version 1.14 loaded (preempt=no, smp=yes)
<6>ndiswrapper: driver lsbcmnds (The Linksys Group, Inc., /02/14/2005, 3.90.36.0) loaded
<7>PCI: setting latency timer of device 14.00.0 to 64
<5>__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x21/0)
<3>ndiswrapper (NdisMAllocationSharedMemory:246): couldn't allocate 4096 bytes of cached DMA memory
<3>ndiswrapper (NDisWriteErrorLogEntry:246): log: C0001389, count: 1, return_address: c4e39d7b
<3>ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:249): code: 13
<4>ndiswrapper (miniport_init:273): couldn't initialize device: C000009A
<4>ndiswrapper (pnp_start_device:497): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0000001)

That is what it said, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
