How Do You Get The Bloody Wireless Working????

[jamieh]

Whenever I successfully get WiFi working, it just goes away when I restart the computer!

I followed multiple tutorials on how to get my TEW-423PI wireless card working, and they all work until I restart. And I am NOT using a live-cd!

Can someone post a tutorial that has worked for them?

Thank you SO MUCH if you can!

EDIT: I have ubuntu 8.04
Sorry if I sound mad.

It sounds like you need to have a module added to /etc/modules or else you need something blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Can you provide us a link to one of the tutorials you used? It will help us see what might be missing.

Thanks!

If doing the following makes it work:

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Make sure that ndiswrapper is in /etc/modules:

cat /etc/modules|grep ndiswrapper

If it is not there:

echo ndiswrapper|sudo tee -a /etc/modules

will add it for you.

Hope that helps!

EDIT:
If that doesn't work, please post the following:

ndiswrapper -v
ndiswrapper -l
lshw -C network
