That didn't quite work. iwconfig and ifconfig couldn't see the card, but lswh -C network showed my card. It said "* - network UNCLAIMED", but it didn't say any logical adresses. I tried a host of adresses with "sudo ifconfig <adress> up", but nothing would work. I had a friend help me do some hacks involving telling the driver the adress of my card, and then iwconfig saw it - but for some reason Wicd couldn't see it (I'll try again when I get back home and install Network Manager again.). I have a log of what we did to get it "working", if it's any help. And yes, the card does work if you install the net8185.inf driver in ndiswrapper and then use the -a command to link the card to the driver. I was just hoping that the card would work out of the box :) On Nov 22, 2007 9:25 PM, Pavel Roskin <proski@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Thu, 2007-11-22 at 21:04 -0500, Vadim Peretokin wrote: > > Ahh I'm afraid no, I'm not quite there yet and need my laptop > > functional.
