guys i still have problems :(
i did everything as ekim said and got a few error messages.
e.g.
tom@tom-laptop:~$ ndiswrapper -l
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper line 3: ignoring bad line starting wit=
h
'original'
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper line 6: ignoring bad line starting wit=
h
'modified'
net8187b : driver installed
device (0BDA:8197) present
net8187b.net : invalid driver!
tom@tom-laptop:~$
plus the version of ndiswrapper i can get through package manager is 1.45
tom@tom-laptop:~$ ndiswrapper -v
utils version: 1.9
driver filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko
version: 1.45
vermagic: 2.6.22-14-generic SMP mod_unload 586
tom@tom-laptop:~$
this is my lsusb:
tom@tom-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
tom@tom-laptop:~$
so i cannot understand what can be wrong. i used the win98 driver for the
rtl8187b wlan stick and still nothing.
network manager shows that i can connect to my network but it doesn`t hand
out any ip to the laptop :( although my wlan is assigned to wlan0
wireless roaming mode is enabled.
help please. :)
