I'm totally lost here. I've read the manuals (and have probably just missed something).
Distro is KnoppMyth. Using ndiswrapper 0.6 with a Linksys WMP54G (Broadcom 4320).
iwconfig shows that wlan0 is working. It results are:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"<my ssid>"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447GHz Access Point: 00:06:25:66:DE:B4

Power Management:off
Link Quality:100/1 Signal level:-10 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:22 Missed beacon:0
I can do ifconfig wlan0 up and it gets an ip address (I can ping my other computers from the interface). It's results are:
Code:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:41:12:6C:14
inet addr:192.168.1.102 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:1896 (1.8 KiB) TX bytes:1522 (1.4 KiB)
Interrupt:12 Memory:e4120000-e4121fff
If I do ifup wlan0 (which happens at boot up too since I have auto wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces) it fails with the error:
Code:
wlanctl-ng: No such device
Failed to enable the device, exitcode= 1 .
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up exited with return code 1
wlanctl-ng: No such device
Failed to enable the device, exitcode= 1 .
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng_pre-up exited with return code 1
Like I said, I'm totally lost. I'm obviously missing a particular configuration file somewhere.
I've looked in *lots* of forums and even something simple like:
Code:
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
returns
Code:
wlanctl-ng: No such device
All ideas *much* appreciated.
