Wireless card not working

[crazyydude]

Hey im new to linux so pls be patient. I have a d-link wua2340 usb adapter and iv tried using ndiswrapper and its windows driver. Iv successfully installed the driver (at least i think i did) as it says driver installed and device ready when i run the command ndiswrapper -l. So after i modprobe ndiswrapper and then iwconfig i get eth0 and lo no wireless extensions. Can anyon suggest anything that would resolve my dillema. Thanks

sometimes "ifconfig" can help. e.g.

"ifconfig"

shows a list of network interfaces, say wlan0 is one of them: then try

"ifconfig wlan0 up"

[crazyydude]

when i run ifconfig i only see eth0 and lo. I have a feeling i should be seeing wlan0 because everyone who has this thing working does so. I tried using ifconfig eth0 up but does nothing.

From the directory you installed the driver w/ ndiswrapper:

depmod -a
modprobe ndiswrapper
su
ifconfig

Let us know how it goes.

[crazyydude]

after runnig depmod -a and modprobe ndiswraper
ifconfig shows
eth0 Link encap: Ethernet Hwaddr 00:0E:XX:XX;XX
Info about packets.....

lo Link encap: Local Loopback
Info about packets.......
I run iwconfig

i get

eth0 no wireless extensions

lo no wireless extensions


I think i should be seeing wlan0 as an interface but does not appear at all
any help?

[crazyydude]

also when i run dmesg iget

ndiswrapper (import:242): unkown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe: 'KeNumberProcessors'
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files :206): couldnt prepare driver 'neta5agu'
ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver : 10: Couldn't load driver nea5agu; chekc system log fo messages for 'loadndisdriver'
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

So obvioulsy the windows driver is not loading. Anybody know wat to do?

hmm....

Howto Setup a DLINK WUA-2340 USB Wireless Adapter in Ubuntu Hardy - SWiK

rather complete directions including a driver-downloading place: maybe...

[crazyydude]

already went through the process step by step but still no luck

You should be seeing wlan0 (or something equivalent)

What happens if you type in:

ifconfig wlan0 up

Also post the output of

lsmod -l

and

ifconfig -a

to this thread

Hi, crazydude!
Dou you resolve problem with your wifi adapter?

I have a similar problem with other d-link usb wifi adapter - DWA-120 on debian 4.0r6 for i386.
I saw in dmesg output same error mesage:

ndiswrapper (import:242): unkown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe: 'KeNumberProcessors'
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files :206): couldnt prepare driver 'neta5agu'
ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver : 10: Couldn't load driver nea5agu; check system log fo messages for 'loadndisdriver'

There are two driver versions(1.10 and 1.20) for my adapter on dlink site(thre are 5 ones for your D-Link WUA-2340 RangeBooster G USB Adapter)
I've installed an older driver in my case and now all works fine. Try other versions of drivers for your adapter!

I hope this information helps you and others!
Good luck!!!
