hi,Drew
Thank you for your reply.>First off. Which VMWare program are you using?
My VMWare in use is station, the following information comes from my VMWare:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product:VMware® Workstation
Version:7.1.2 build-301548
Host OS version:Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600, Service Pack 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>what's the output of "lsusb"?
Here is the output :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@wulmcent ~]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[root@wulmcent ~]#
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So i think my CentOS(2.6.18-128.el5) in VMWare has recognized my usb device, but the system can't drive it.
The light in my wireless card is still off.
On the other way, i have tried the ndiswrapper(1.56) using the drivers on winXP.
My wireless card can work well on winXP.So i think the driver will work in centOS too.
In fact, it cound't work although i've tried every driver i have that work well on winXP.
Here is my try:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@wulmcent MW54U]# ls
150U C69 U300T U70 UD10
[root@wulmcent MW54U]# cd U70
[root@wulmcent U70]# ls
athur.sys athuw.sys netathuw.inf
[root@wulmcent U70]# ndiswrapper -i netathuw.inf
driver netathuw is already installed
[root@wulmcent U70]# ndiswrapper -l
netathuw : invalid driver!
[root@wulmcent U70]#
-------------------------------------------------------------------
And i also tried different drivers in directory 150U, C69, U300T and UD10. They displayed
the same error.
Can you give me some advice?
Thank you very much!

big differences between the Player/Workstation/Server family and the
ESX(i)/vSphere family of products.
ESX you can pretty much write that idea off unless you have a newer
system that supports Intel's VT-d (or AMD's equivalent). Player is a
bit different if it's a usb device as you can attach to the guest a
required.
Assuming Player, are you *absolutely sure* that you connected the USB
device to the guest per VMware's procedures? If yes, what's the output
of "lsusb"? We need to know *if* it's being seen by the guest at all
to begin with.
