My issue was the WPA part -- but after installing wpa_supplicant, everything worked fine.

I use KDE, with the KDEWallet to store passwords, running Feisty on an Asus G1.

is it Feisty? (the OS, not the card)


card. After setting it up with ndiswrapper*, it was able to connect to the store's network, i.e. both the link and the activity lights worked, but I couldn't ping anything. I figured it was some sort of authentication error.

are you trying to connect with WPA, WEP, or plain?
I could get a different card to connect, provided I used SSID broadcasting and no WPA, but that wasn't acceptable.


Did you add wpa_supplicant and configure it?



I'd like to start over, any suggestions of undoing any harm I did and what I should do instead. I still have both cards and don't care which one I get working.

I don't think you did any harm, other than that of failing to convince it to connect.


I'll let you know what I find when I try the older laptop again.
