Sorry if I am jumping the thread, but I had almost exactly the same response from the wireless card I was trying to set up. The card was an INPROCOMM 2220. Ndiswrapper -l showed driver present hardware present, but iwconfig showed only lo after modprobing ndiswrapper. No errors were produced in dmesg, but no wlan0 was produced either. I succeeded in getting the card up in slax, so I know the driver I am using is good. I would like to use DSL as the notebook I am trying to run is very old and tired. I had intended to follow the advice on the ndiswrapper web page and compile the newest ndiswrapper, but if I am understanding correctly this may not work -- WE patches in 2.4 -- I'm not quite getting that part. Assuming I am not wasting my time trying to get this working with the 2.4 kernel would the procedure to build the module run something like:
tar linux-2.4.31
link path/linux-2.4.31 /usr/src/linux
cp dsl.config .config
make oldconfig
follow build instruction on ndiswrapper website
tar up ndiswrapper module and other bits to a .dsl file
plunk the .dsl file in mydsl directory and install with the provided tool.
I've built kernels and installed modules, but have not had any experience with DSL or wireless, so any help would be appreciated.
