Problem confuring Ndiswrapper

[anderssose]

Hi,

been away for a while but now I'm back. I'm having a problem when I'm trying to start the wifi card. I have installed ndiswrapper and the wpa supplicant tool as far as I know without problem. Now to my problem: when I make the launch command: ifup wlan0 , I get the following response: Error for wireless request "Set NWID" : SET failed on device wlan0; Operation not supported
Determing IP Information for wlan0......failed.

Anyone a clue?
Thanks in advance....Dosan/Sweden

after using "ndiswrapper -i *.inf" to load the driver, and "modprobe ndiswrapper"
the sequence of commands I use is this:

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan 1>/dev/null
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid SMC
iwconfig wlan0 channel 2
dhclient wlan0

this uses the "wireless tools" package. Usually a few of the commands can be left out.
I've been doing wireless for years, never heard of "ifup" until you mentioned it
