ndiswrapper wlan driver installed, but wlan still does not work
- by mugetsu
I'm trying to get my Atheros AR1111 EB-WG PCI wireless adapter to work. Right now wifi is not even detected. I'm on ubuntu 12.04 64bit and I managed to find a xp64bit driver. I followed the exact steps here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
And where I do
ndiswrapper -l
I get something like :
{name of driver} : driver installed
device ({Chipset ID}) present
which shows that the driver installed properly
However, after I load the new module :
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
nothing happens, and iwconfig shows that I still have no wlan.
I tried to do dmseg | grep ndiswrapper, but there were no driver loading errors or anything strange.
I also have blacklist ath5k, ath8k in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
What am I doing wrong? What could be causing this?
