Which version of Ubuntu are you using as well? Please post the output of various commands in code tags. __________________ The Arch Way How to Ask Questions the Smart Way Registered Linux User #482863

Code:

wangrui@wangrui-desktop:~/compat-wireless-2.6-old$ ndiswrapper
install/manage Windows drivers for ndiswrapper

usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
-i inffile       install driver described by 'inffile'

reed9 Linux Guru Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 2,199	There is a linux driver for this card, the zd1211rw What does it show if you remove ndiswrapper and add the zd1211rw module? Code: sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper sudo modprobe -i zd1211rw I see also you are doing something with compat-wireless? Compat-wireless contains newer drivers for this card. You can install some updated drivers in Ubuntu with Code: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-24-generic It looks like there was a patch to the zd1211 driver adding support for the 422G in Febuary of 2009, which wouldn't have made it into Ubuntu 8.04, unless it is included in the backported modules. An upgrade to a newer release might also fix your problems. __________________ The Arch Way How to Ask Questions the Smart Way Registered Linux User #482863

I follow you suggestion do these:

Code:

wangrui@wangrui-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
wangrui@wangrui-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe -i zd1211rw

wangrui@wangrui-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-24-generic

It also display:

Code:

If it doesn't work, as I said, there was a semi-recent patch to the driver for your card, and updating to Ubuntu 9.10 would probably fix the issue. For your version of the driver, it looks like you might need to add the usb id.
