[ltp] T42 wireless (ndiswrapper)

[Josh Kuo]

Hi all:

I am trying to get wireless working on a T42 laptop. I have followed the
instructions on http://www.stanford.edu/~sanjiv/thinkpad/ndis.html and
http://web.bii.a-star.edu.sg/~kuobin/linux/wireless.html.

I am using Mandrake 10.0 Official, and I have downloaded the appropriate
RPMs. I basically did this:

ndiswrapper -i w22n51.INF
ndiswrapper -l (to make sure it is there)
modprobe ndiswrapper

Now according to these articles, I should be able to do 'iwconfig' and
see my wireless device, but it doesn't show up.

I have gone as far as creating a file named
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, but still, it does not see
it.

Can someone help me please?


, I should get
an interface named wlan0 after installing this... but I don't.
