Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Connect After Using NDISWrapper / Make It Possible?
Jan 2, 2010
My wireless card (an Atheros AR928x) was not performing very well. At the suggestion of a friend I tried to use NDISWrapper (using the ndisgtk GUI interface) to see if a Windows driver would work better. I found the XP drivers online, tried several versions and, after none worked, I decided that I might as well settle with the crappy quality of the Linux driver and let it go. Sadly, that may not be possible.
I removed the drivers (again via ndisgtk) and now the laptop can't use the card at all. It won't detect any networks (even when just five feet from the router) and I'm not sure what's causing this. I've tried rebooting and rebooting into an older kernel. I checked lspci and it still recognizes the card.
Any idea what's up and how I could fix it?

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 to run a Minecraft Server. Now against better judgement and seeing that it is only for 7 people, I decided to use a wireless usb card to connect to the internet. Well, I was told that I was going to have to install ndiswrapper. I downloaded it on my Mac and used a USB drive to transfer it to my desktop. I then double clicked and extracted. I then did this in the terminal:
Code:
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details.

I have tried to get ndiswrapper to work on an ubuntu 9.04 32 bit system but have yet to succeed. After installing the windows driver, the usb wireless network adapter is recognized but will never connect to the internet. I have disabled the driver included with jaunty. Now what makes this strange (at least to me) is that ndiswrapper works perfectly with ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. It could very well be something that I am not doing in the 32 bit system (but I don't know what that might be).
I have tried ndiswrapper with several other distros with the same result. So, I don't think it is specifically related to ubuntu however, since ubuntu is what I am using, I am posting in this forum hoping that someone might be able to help me. I have several 32 bit machines I would like to set up but cannot until I get this resolved. I have also tried downloading and compiling a native driver with no success either. Anyway, here is my setup:
PC with AMD64 dual core processors running at 2Ghz and 3 GB ram.
Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless Router
Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless USB Network Adapter
And an aside: I am using WICD network manager and would like to know what the tray icon means when it says it is connected at say 54%. My question is, 54% of what? In windows this info is given in Mbps which is more meaningful.

I just got a new pc and installed ubuntu 10.04. I have not yet been able to connect wirelessly, but can connect using a hardwire connection.
Code:
kyle@Gracie-pants:~$ ndiswrapper -l
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.

I am trying to make a d-link dwl-650+ pcmcia card work through ndiswrapper method following the direction at:[URl]... The first step there is to install the "kmod-ndiswrapper" via yum.
But, how would I just download this package to a usb drive so that I can transfer it to the laptop that needs wireless networking. Is there an option in yum where I can just download the package, not intstall, so that I can save it somewhere?

i've patched the source files to be installed on f14 and finally got a succesfull install, ndiswrapper -l comes back with driver installed and presentwhen i run modprobe ndiswrapper i get "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found" after many hours of google searching and reading various threads i cannont seem to find a solution to this apart from manualy coping the ndiswrapper.ko file but when i use that solution modprobe starts ndiswrapper but there is no wlan0 present in iwconfig.now for some reason even wheni move the ndiswrapper.ko file manually it still is giving me that error. this worked earlier as i mentioned but then i reinstalled ndiswrapper hoping something went wrong but still got the same error so i tried that same fix and i'm still getting that error. i can't figure out what i migt've done differently earlier but i'm not having any luck.

since if read all the forums threads, faqs an tutorials i could find, i hope to find some help here.
i just installed openSuse 11.2, KDE 4.3.1 a fews days ago to see what's it all about. i don't have any experience in writing code or anything besides the few little commands i've learnd through my research. the system is running on an old laptop (amd64 3000+) with enough RAM and HD. now i since my wlan-card is detected but won't work due to missing driver i tried this ndiswrapper-method. i used the ndis-version that was included in the openSuse-dvd with no success, then i de-installed this version to try manually. i downloaded version 1.55 from the ndiswrapper-website, logged into the console as superadmin and followed the install-intructions and for intances this tutorial. now i'm even stuck with the "make"-command as the console tells me "If 'make' is not a typo. in earlier attempts while trying to install the wlan-driver through the dvd-given ndiswrapper version i often got the error "makefile:23: kernel tree not found..."
as the welcome-note for this forum demands here's some output from the console linux-g6rk:/home/mat/ndis # lspci -nn
02:09.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) [17fe:2220]dmesg|less [0.331220] aer 0000:00:02.0:pcie02: AER service couldn't init device: no _OSC support (i guess that's the line telling me that my wlan-card has no firmware as i found nothing else for that matter) i know there many threads about this topic but i've spend the last two days looking for answers and the stuff i found either didn't work or was explained so weird that i could make anything out of it.

I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04, on an Asus EeePC 904HA. Yesterday, I was connecting to my wireless network, which has WPA2 security, just fine. Then, I disconnected randomly (I'm used to random disconnects, as I'm a great distance away from my router.) Usually, I just reconnect. I tried and tried, and I still can't. I've restarted my computer, gotten right next to the router, turned networking off and back on, and so on. Still, no luck.
You know, when you're conecting to a wireless network, there's the icon with the two grey circles that turn green and the blue swirl? They both turn green, like usual, and then they just go back to the two computers with the red "X". You know what I'm talking about. All other computers on my network work fine, so it's just my Asus.

I have installed xubuntu 11.04 and cannot connect to my wireless router - The computer picks up all the local signals, so it's working from that end. When I do try to connect wirelessly it tries for a bit and then tells me I am disconnected. The password is correct and the wireless is WPA-Personal TKIP Encrypted.

I've installed ubuntu 9.10 using a minimal install and started from there installing the rest of the things I needed.
I'm running KDE4.4 and Wicd 1.6.1.
Problem is, wicd worked fine, but I don't know what happened before I got this annoying problem.
After logging into KDE, wicd asks me for my password in order to connect to the network-device. After filling that in, I get the message code...
As you can see in the logging, internet is working fine. I manually have to start wicd-client and I get an extra wicd-icon in the taskbar showing me the signal strength as it should do.
I've been searching a lot, but can't find anything about this, except a lot of people having the same errormessage, but they have some errors in the wicd.log too.

I have a Synology home server at home. I have a laptop with Linux Mint 8 (Helena) installed. I can access my server's shared files using LAN through Places>Network>Windows Network>Workgroup>Server>Shared files. I can also access the files through a web browser. Samba is installed. The problem is when I use the wireless lan of my laptop, I cannot access the server and the files anymore locally even through a web browser.
I tried Connect to Server through Windows Share but what I get is "Could not display "smb://server/".".

I have a nifty new headset (a JawBone icon�the noise cancellation is incredible) and I've successfully connected it to my Karmic laptop (64 bit, for the off chance it makes a difference). The trouble is, I only occasionally want to connect it to my laptop; I mostly use it with my mobile 'phone.
The two devices fight over my new toy a lot, and invariably the laptop wins, contrary to what I want. It seems a pain to have to rediscover the headset every time I want to use VIOP or whatever, so is there a way to add a device to Karmic's Bluetooth list, but not have it connect whenever it sees it?

I'm currently using Ndiswrapper for my wireless usb card that uses the RTL8187B Chipset on Ubuntu 8.04. To get myself to connect I have to run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" everytime. Is there a way I can connect automatically?

So after a quick look around the forums, I haven't seen anything on removing ndiswrapper. What I have done is removed ndiswrapper via synaptic. Now in order to start my wireless card I have to issue:
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ath9k
ifconfig wlan0 up
Basically this is a pain. Does anyone know how to get rid of ndiswrapper completely and set things up to use ath9k automatically?

I had been having problems with my Asus wireless card connecting to my router. Turns out, using ndiswrapper and the XP driver solved the issue. Based on my title of the thread, the driver worked, I turned off computer at night, next day, I can't seem to start the wireless driver again. How would I go about doing this? I am running Ubuntu 10.04, Asus PCE N13 wireless card.

I am trying to install windows wireless drivers using ndiswrapper to have better connectivity around my house(I can only currently get online in certain rooms, very restricted). I have ndiswrapper installed OK, but I am a bit lost on the step where I have to browse to my windows wireless driver(a .inf file I believe), my question is how do I know where this is? I can't seem to locate it at all. I'm running on windows vista.
