ndiswrapper help
ok, so today my friend decided he wanted linux on his computer, i came over and installed zenwalk. Everything except his wireless is working, ndiswrapper claims the driver is loaded and the hardware is present. i type modprobe ndiswrapper and no errors come up. then i type dmesg it shows that ndiswrapper is loaded but not wlan0, what should i do?

Have you rebooted? Or at least logged out and logged back in? That's what always worked for me..

Did you make sure ndiswrapper is associated with the interface with
?Code:ndiswrapper -m
Also, is the interface present in the network configuration file (/etc/network/interfaces) ?"To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."
