Wireless,ndiswrapper,wusb11,problem!

[jnorcal]

I tried this on 2 different comps
I loaded ndiswrapper sucessfully
I downloaded the WUSB11v4_08272004_dr%2C0.exe and extrated all the files in the driver section to a folder
I sucessfully installed the driver
I intiated the ndiswrapper -m
I can validate via "dmesg" that the wireless deveice is being connected/disconnected.
EXACT DMESG VERBAGE
ndiswrapper version 1.23 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper
ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.1: wakeup
usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

There is no wlan0 designation, iwlist gives nothing. Its like the driver is not associating with the dev.
and thats it?
Im using slackware kernel 2.6.17.13

How is ndiswrapper associated in /etc/modules.conf? When you do /sbin/lsmod, does ndiswrapper show up there?

After loading ndiswrapper, etc, what does the following command display?
iwconfig

Not iwlist, mind you, but iwconfig.

Also, try typing:

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.90
You can change the address to something more specific to your network.
What happens?
