Hello,
I used ndiscvt to generate the modules from the windows xp drivers for
my wifi card with the help from
http://www.pingwales.co.uk/tutorials/project-evil.html
I have managed to get my wifi card UP and associated with my router, but
I can not work with it (i.e ping bbc.co.uk, view web pages etc)
Gnome's network monitor reports 0% strength, yet I can access my routers
setup page but not any other webpage on the internet.
When I go to view the wireless clients connected to my router it reports
none are connected, yet I am viewing the setup pages!
I disabled my realtek with:
ifconfig rl0 down
I do not have WEP enabled.
Before Gnome started up I noticed something about another interface
using the same IP as my ndis0 device.
If you require any further details please ask.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Please see the following.
