From: sk on 28 Feb 2006 19:57 Has anyone here had any luck installing and using the Airnet AWN154 pcmcia cardbus on *nix? I'm still very new to this, so there's not much I can try to do to get it to work. I'm running on VectorLinux 5.1 with kernel version 2.4.29. What I've gotten: ndiswrapper -i mrv8000c.inf: Installing mrv8000c Forcing parameter AdhocGMode|1 to AdhocGMode|0 Forcing parameter AdhocGMode|1 to AdhocGMode|0 ndiswrapper -l: .... mrv8000c driver present, hardware present ndiswrapper -m: adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to modprobe.conf depmod -a: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/ath_hal.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/ath_pci.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/ath_rate_onoe.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/wlan.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/wlan_acl.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/wlan_ccmp.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/wlan_tkip.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/wlan_wep.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/net/wlan_xauth.o modprobe ndiswrapper: Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.29/misc/ndiswrapper.o symbol for parameter if_name not found Module ndiswrapper loaded, with warnings dmesg: .... ndiswrapper version 0.12 loaded (preempt=no, smp=no) // after modprobe, no activity from the card

This sounds to me as you are using a outdated kernel version. I also tried to run ndiswrapper on an old Red Hat release (which I had installed for testing purposes) and it didn't work. AFAIR this is the message I got... So try to get a newer version of your distro or if none is available change to another distro (but it's very unlikely that there is no version with 2.6 kernel). I dunno which kernel version introduced "ndiswrapper support" but all 2.6 releases should work fine. If expierencing more probems with your wireless NIC think about buying a card with the Prism chipset. I did that, too, and since then I haven't have such problems. Hopefully this helps a bit Daniel Böhmer
