That is usually the hard part! Could you please post what the result
of
iwconfig wlan0 is. And after you have set up ESSID with something like
iwconfig wlan0 essid $ESSID could you post that as well? Then just try
ifconfig wlan0
and see what you get. In order to use the wireless device with network
config I think you have to set up a new device while ndiswrapper is
running and then it will show up as an option. Frankly though I never
use the network config interface. I like the hands on 'iwconfig',
'ifconfig' command line...
Hi I finally can install it. After I do ndiswrapper -m it will appear in
network config. How do you set the interface to be a dhcp client using
ifconfig command line? All that I can see it can only set up a static IP.
