Ok not to confuse you farther, however since you know it is working, you know longer need the -dd flag (this is a flag for double debugging output). I would now add the -B flag to send the process to the background. It would be something similar to this:
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Because the process is being run in the background, you can type the command and the dhclient command in the same terminal window.
Hi, it's me again. since by notebook freeze randomly at boot up [actually I started another thread about this issue:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085758 ], I want to reinstall ndiswrapper again. I follow another guide by you about installing ndiswrapper http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...Kevdog&page=31
and I have problem while running this command:
sudo ndiswrapper -mwhat should I do? thanks !Code:module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive module configuration already contains alias directive

Ignore the warning. ndiswrapper is probably listed in /etc/modules
I want falling back to the native driver of realtek 8187 driver provided by Ubuntu by default because I doubt the ndiswrapper driver of win 98 version is the cause of freezing at "Loading manual drivers..." during bootup.
I clicked complete removal of ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and ndiswrapper-common in Synaptic. Then I run the following command according to your ndiswrapper howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ghlight=Kevdog in order to ensure a clean uninstallation:
Then I check my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to ensure blacklist 818x and blacklisk 8187 are commented out. The extract of my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistCode:sudo aptitude purge ndiswrapper sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper sudo sh -c "sed '/^ndiswrapper$/d' /etc/modules > /etc/modules.temp.rm; mv /etc/modules.temp.rm /etc/modules" sudo rmmod ndiswrapper sudo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko sudo rm -rf /etc/ndiswrapper sudo rm /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper sudo rm /sbin/loadndisdriver sudo rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
then I run lshw -C network and the default driver seems not coming back. There is no driver installed for wlan realtek 8187?Code:# low-quality, just noise when being used for sound playback, causes # hangs at desktop session start (Ubuntu: #246969) blacklist snd_pcsp #blacklist r818x #blacklist r8187
Here's the result of lsmod|grep 818Code:lshw -C network *-network description: Wireless interface physical id: 2 logical name: wlan0 serial: 00:22:43:74:7b:05 capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg

I haven't kept abreast of the latest realtek drivers within the newer kernels since writing this guide. I am no longer certain they are called r8187 or r818x. They could possibly be called something else. You are going to have to look keeping your kernel version as a reference. This can be found with uname -r. Google might be your best fried here!
Oh mine... I google around and cannot find any useful information. I think I have to go back to ndiswrapper.
I feel dizzy now......

Hi, I finally got the native driver rtl8187 installed. But this time I cannot connect even without encryption.
Here's the result:
Then I tried install wicd and wicd connected immediately. But wicd suffered from random disconnection due to the lack of a suffix on ESSID as you mentioned on the first post.Code:coppen@coppen-laptop:~$ iwlist scan lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wlan0 No scan results coppen@coppen-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [sudo] password for coppen: coppen@coppen-laptop:~$ sudo dhclient -r wlan0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1 Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Why this time I can't get dhclient work with the native driver?
Thanks!
EDIT: or is their any method to add a suffix for ESSID in wicd? Sorry that it is off-topic.

This HowTo is excellent. However it is missing one important thing: if NetworkManager is installed (which it is by default, at least on Jaunty), you must first stop NetworkManager:
sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
If you don't do this, and you're not running the NetworkManager applet (I run FVWM instead of gnome), then everything looks perfect in ifconfig and iwconfig, yet the wireless card will not associate with an access point.
I'm not sure if what you are telling me is correct. Ive been able to make a manual connection with network manager connected and running in the background. I haven't used Jaunty yet, however I can confirm this statement based on all versions back to Feisty. Its possible the interface wasn't taken down correctly or something. Maybe I can confirm your statement later when Jaunty final is released and I actually install it!
