    Linksys WPC54G and Mandrake Linux

    jeez i wish i had read these forums before i bought this thing. this is a pain... i'm trying to lay this wpc54g on my Debian Thinkpad390, and it's hard. i got ndiswrapper first, installed it and everything, executed this: # ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: lstinds driver present, hardware present # as you can see, i have the card plugged into my pc slot; if i unplug it, the last "hardware present" bit doesn't show up. so it's seeing my card. however, the card's lights are NOT on. so then i go and: # /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format # so no dice. i did it a few times, went back through the whole thing, did it again... nothing. so i figure i'd pay the twenty bucks and go to linuxant. i ended up doing the trial install. in the end, i got to their graphical web-configuration, where i get, after installing my drivers and all: "It seems that your device is either not present or not supported by the installed driver(s). Either: 1. Plug-in your device and click [Refresh] to retry, OR 2. Upload a new driver using the [upload Windows Driver] button below. If your device still does not appear, please look at the Kernel Messages for possible clues and check that no conflicting Kernel modules are loaded." i don't get it. i checked my kernel messages, and found the following (interesting, useful) message: *clip* ndiswrapper: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.8-20050102 PENTIUMII gcc -3.3' should be '2.6.8-1-386 preempt 386 gcc -3.3' ... that might make sense, actually. see, i started a kernel recompile in order to get the kernel headers in the right place, but didn't finish it cause it was taking a damn long time and i thought i could get around it by using either apt-get or linuxant's stuff. which i did, and both seemed to work... any ideas? spencer
