What errors are you getting? Try not to get too frustrated, it can be very hard at first but you'll get the hang of things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well i couldnt get my lspci and dmesg info saved onto a floppy or anything so i could post it up here. i type ndiswrapper -l and it says the driver is present but it doesnt say the hardware is present. thats really confuses me especially because when i type lspci i read the line where it says network controller and it shows the info about the broadcom chipset and stuff like that. so how is it that it cant detect the hardware if it can show in

thats it. im sick of this. i need someone that could physically be around to show me how to work all this linux stuff. i dont understand anything. i cant even save that dmesg and lspci info to a floppy disk. how much harder could it get? i'm definitly not saying that windows is better but should an operating system be so confusing?

k i'll do it tommorow morning

Please list all steps taken to this point (software installed including any compiles, did you compile the NDISwraper kernel driver and so on) next what version of the WMP11 there are 3 and each is diffrent. and last post the output of the command lspci this must be done as root. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i have a wmp11 v2.7 if you need to know im using the ndiswrapper off of the ubuntu install. i dont think i compiled the kernel and im not sure if i need to. how do you do it anyway? these are the things i've done so far. 1.install the package "ndiswrapper-utils" on synaptic 2.installed th

ya thanks for the help..... anyone else?

i have a Linksys WMP11 wireless network card. how do i set it up to work with Ubuntu 5.04? Im guessing its something to do with ndiswrapper but i keep getting so confused. I just want to finally get the internet running on linux so i dont have to keep rebooting into windows to ask questions like these and find files.
