    Hello,

    I can seem for the life of me to get the 2 to work together.

    I downloaded ndiswrapper and installed it according to the install
    instructions.

      'make install'

      make -C driver install
      make[1]: Entering directory `/temp/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/driver'
      make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build
    SUBDIRS=/temp/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/driver DRV_VERSION=0
    .8-rc1 modules
      make[2]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build'
      Building modules, stage 2.
      MODPOST
      make[2]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build'
      mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/misc
      install -m 0644 ndiswrapper.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/misc
    /sbin/depmod -a
      make[1]: Leaving directory `/temp/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/driver'
      make -C utils install
      make[1]: Entering directory `/temp/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/utils'
      install -m 755 loadndisdriver /sbin
      install -m 755 ndiswrapper /usr/sbin
      install -m 755 wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx /usr/sbin
      make[1]: Leaving directory `/temp/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/utils'

    Then I install the drivers from the CD that came with the card.

      'ndiswrapper -i /mnt/cdrom/lsbcmnds.inf''

    Then I look at the list.

      'ndiswrapper -l'

      Installed ndisdrivers:
      lsbcmnds present

    All looks good to this point. I then run modprobe as instructed

      'modprobe ndiswrapper'

    It states that there should be no errors which there wasn't. Next I try to
    locate the wireless interface.

      'iwconfig'

      lo no wireless extensions.

      sit0 no wireless extensions.

      eth0 no wireless extensions.

    No wireless. The card is in it's port but nothing. Could some please tell me
    what I missed? I would be grateful for any help on this matter.
