Hi all out there,
In spite of all the received help, I'm not able yet of getting connected my Linksys Wireless card. As far as I can see it does appear to be working.
One thing I found is that when you have BOTH the NIC and the Wireless
configured, the kernel routing table does not have the default route.
Here is a procedure you can use:
bring up a terminal window, and as root:
ifdown eth0
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
Then, take a look at the routing table:
netstat -nr, and you should see a default route
or, another way to see if the wireless is working, temporarily configure it
for DHCP and see if the router gives it an ip address.
In any case, if neither of these work, take a look at what dmesg says when
loading ndiswrapper. This is what shows up on my system. (You can force
this by unloading ndiswrapper (modprobe -r ndiswrapper), run dmesg -c to
clear its buffer, then load ndiswrapper (modprobe ndiswrapper).
