Hi,
I followed the instructions to the word, however Iam having this problem: When Linux is starting I get messages: Bringing up Device Wlan0 [Failed] Different Physical address than expected. Then when linux has loaded completely, I open the terminal and do the following:
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/rc.local
Loading ndiswrapper...
Setting mode Managed...
Setting up wireless interface wlan0...
-- Setting ESSID
--Setting to cchannel 11...
--Turning on managed mode...
Bringing up interface wlan0...
Activating UP address via DHCP...
