I am trying to get my wifes computer set up on a wireless network,
Ubuntu Edgy.
I have a Dynalink / Netcom NP452 network card 88w8835 (libertas) chipset.
I have set up the drivers with ndiswrapper.
All seems OK except access point not associated, as below
No it is a PCI card for a desktop
Seems I was a little dyslexic, It is a NP542 card (not 452) The spec
sheet is here
Well we have progress
First I got it going without WEP by removing the WE key and then it was necessary to reboot Edgy in order to get it to work again without the WEP key. Logging out and in again wasn't enough.
Used command line to put the WEP key in
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key s:(wepkey)
This still did not work until we added open to the end ie.
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key s:(wepkey) open
This works, until the machine is rebooted. I assume that this will require manual editing of a config file.
Am I right and which file do I have to edit.
FYI the drivers I used with ndiswrapper were the WIN XP drivers on the CD.
Thanks David Bowen
