    Odd Linksys WUSB100 connection problem

    Yesterday I installed a Linksys usb wireless card, after some doing I ndiswrapper'd the driver file (rt2870.inf) that came on the installation cd, which allowed me to connect to my wireless network. After installing the card on my separate windows drive however, It is failing to find any networks on the network manager. I'm running Gutsy 7.10.

    Here is some info I gleened off the terminal.
    ndiswrapper -l
    rt2870 : driver installed

    Managed to figure it out myself, i needed to run
    sudo depmod -a
    sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

    what exactly was it that these commands did?
