I guess I need some help here please... This card is supposed to work according to ndiswapper.soundforge wiki. It's the Airplus extreme G. I ran ndiswrapper with the inf supplied (confirmed to be working by others - net5211.inf), and it created the net5211 dir under /etc/ndiswrapper. But after that, what to do? whatever I do says that the device is not found.

It's based on the Atheros chipset, and "lspci" lists it as such.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

fixed. when I pointed ndiswrapper to the inf file, there was just the inf file in the dir, no .sys file... so now it works fine, but:

- my usb wireless mouse makes the whole computer freeze after a while of network access (dsl never froze on me before).

- I have to get modprobe up again after a suspend.
