Hi all,
I followed the instructions here to get nidiswrapper working working with a Netgear MA521:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/...wto/ndiswrapper
and all seemed to be well until i tried to connect.
After using "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper", I tried to configure the connection using the gui, but my card wasn't there for selection. According to the device manager, ubuntu can see the card as a RTL8180L 802.11b MAC.
I did a distro upgrade, so "uname -r" returns 2.6.8.1-4-386.
ndiswrapper -i Netgear/NETMA521.inf gives:
netma521 is already installed. Use -e to remove it
ndiswrapper -l gives:
Installed ndis drivers:
netma521 hardware present
windows hardware NOT present
dmesg gives:

Can someone please shed some light on this? As you can imagine, Ubuntu is pretty useless without the net!!
