Have a Linksys wireless card using the ndiswrapper for the driver. Although it has bee working like a charm for the past few months, a couple of
ago it could no longer see wireless networks. The Power LED is lit on
days the
card, however the Link LED doesn't flicker periodically as though there is no TCP traffic or even a 'heart beat' flicker.
'ifconfig shows the MAC address of the card and ndiswrapper -l shows, 'lstinds driver present, hardware present'.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thank you for the info. Sadly, that didn't work. Even a reboot doesn't fix the problem. Restarting the network shows wlan0 device: Wireless Interface and then it backgrounds the DHCP request, however I never see the LED flicker on the card. It is as though no packets are getting to the card. The card works when I boot into windows, but I don't really want to do that.
What else can I do to trouble shoot this? Anything to look for in the logs?
Try running
dmesg | grep wlan0
and
dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
and see what shows up

Thanks, tried those and everything looks good. I am using Kiniternet-Internet Tool to locate Access Points. Is there a CLI tool I could use to locate an Access Point or, perhaps, some other tool?
I use KNetworkManager. Not sure if that would help really. Have you tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it?
I don't see KNetworkManager as a selection in the drop down menu as a command. How do I uninstall the driver? I know how to install it. Again, thank you. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Just do ndiswrapper -l to get the name of the driver and then use ndiswrapper -r driver_name On 5/16/07, James D. Parra <Jamesp@musicreports.com> wrote:
