Sorry the carmanager seemed to work fine. Unless I set it without realising it!

The commands I use are:

sudo ndiswrapper -i [driver.INF]
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key restricted **********
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [network name]
sudo ifconfig up
netcardconfig (followed by OK)

Strangely though they work successfully from the command line, but not from within a BASH shell script. Anyone know why?

Hi,

I have a belkin wireless usb card with rt2500 chipset.

I tried ndiswrapper to install the driver, it works but says to me that there's no present hardware.

I'm wondering if I missed something that I should have done to get DSL recognizing my usb card.

Is there something to do first or after ndiswrapper to recognize the hardware ?

Thank you in advance.

John

Try using a different driver file.

The driver file below has been reported to work with ndiswrapper and a Belkin RT2500 wireless device:
