1. remove the ndiswrapper module by typing "modprobe -r ndiswrapper" as root 2. check "lsmod" to see the ndiswrapper module is remove 3. run "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" and double check the wireless card is there either as ethx or wlanx 4. run "vwifi" as root or if you want to use ndiswrapper..... (I never use ndiswrapper before, but from what I know this is the step to do it....) 1. remove the atmel module using "modprobe -r atmel_cs" 2. download the windows drivers for your wireless card... http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D6020&aid=6065&scid=2213. run "ndiswrapper -i xxx.inf" to install the drivers http://www.angelfire.com/linux/hardwire/Ncommands.html4. run "vwifi" as root Ok- did step one- removed ndis and checked it was gone. ifconfig doesn't show the card (eth1)- iwconfig does- and even had my wep settings. Ran Vwifi and it setup and said it assigned ip 192.168.0.16- but no internet... RE: the Belkin driver- even unpacked, there's no .inf nor .sys... T |

OK. If there is IP assigned to your wireless card, can you ping your wireless AP/router? If yes, it maybe due to DNS setting that causing the internet issue...... |

post output of /etc/resolv.conf.
Should have an entry:
nameserver ipaddress of router

etc/resolv.conf is
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0
nameserver 192.168.0.1
Also, I have a file in etc called "resolv.conf-etc0.sv" and that shows this same info. Both show eth0, which is my wired port- not the card...
ifconfig doesn't show the wireless at all- (should be eth1)
root:# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:06:5B:30:1D:53
inet addr:192.168.0.16 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

...but iwconfig does??
root:# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"*******"

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

(I asterisked my network/wep to post- but they were correct)
Running VLwifi finds/allows me to set up eth1 (ssid, wep key) and finishes with a window "success, wireless interface eth1 is configured with address 192.168.0.16"- but there's no internet?
Hope this helps with the mystery- thanks for sticking with me!

is your wireless router/AP's IP 192.168.0.255?
can you ping it?
first we need to verify is there a network connection between your wireless card and your wireless router/AP..

192.168.0.255 is the "broadcast" address
192.168.0.1 is his router

Hi all,
I'm actually concerned about this bit:
Edit: I just ran ndiswrapper -l, and under "atmel" it says "invalid driver"...how do I point it to a/the correct one? According to the FCC id, the card is Atmel 76C502A. I also have other "invalids"- install.ini, makefile.kernelv2.6, pcandis5.sys, setup.exe, vl-hot-sda-vol1.desktop (I'm guessing this is from a thumb drive I plugged in once that's no longer there?)...
What about the others showing as "invalid"? They seem important? Or not? I believe the sda is ok, I unmounted it on reboot- but the rest?

eth0 and eth1 can't have the same ip address!

Ya, just notice the info at ifconfig and iwconfig is not tally. Hi tracyf, do you have your network card connected will trying to configure your wireless card? |

"eth0 and eth1 can't have the same ip address!"
ok, I get that- so how do I go about changing this?
"Ya, just notice the info at ifconfig and iwconfig is not tally.

The card is plugged in- not sure what you're asking here??

this is what i mean....sorry for the typo error... Hi tracyf, do you have your network card connected while trying to configure your wireless card?" It would be good if you join VL IRC chat, maybe we can help you more.... server: freenode channel: #vectorlinux |

I'm now online!
Many thanks to Bigpaws and uelsk8s for their help in chat yesterday. ndiswrapper was indeed the problem- once the references were removed and eth1 set up properly, all was well. The following is the process used to get the card going:
First as root lsmod check that ndiswrapper is not loaded,
if it is use rmmod ndiswrapper to remove it.
Now check that eth1 is up:
ifconfig
If it is not listed then
ifconfig eth1 up
If it is listed then use
dhcpcd eth1
Now check ifconfig to see if there is an inet address
it there is you are done if not then try
iwlist eth1 scan
That should list your router if it is good if not start over
from the top
Again, thanks so much- I'll definitely be back and reading the forums as I delve deeper into VL,
TF
