WNDA3100 Wireless Adapter Issue

[Relinies]

Okay, so according to the list here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ha...rkCardsNetgear the given adapter (2nd from very bottom) is listed as supported in Karmic, 9.10. I understand this doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work anymore, but I've got to try. So, I have installed the Driver with ndiswrapper already, and I've gotten the light to turn on, but i'm not sure whether it will be automatic from there or if I could do anything.
I'll have the information you guys might need (lsusb iwconfig ndiswrapper -l and some others) in just a few minutes

EDIT: Okay, here we go

It is doubtful you'll ever get this going in a 64-bit system. Nonetheless, let's see if there are any interesting clues:

dmesg | grep ndis

[Relinies]

Wow, didn't expect a reply from you. You seem to be the big authority in this area.

I typed the command in, it did nothing whatsoever. Just went straight to the next line, no other output. Closing the terminal didn't bring up any warning about running processes.

[chili555]

Please try a slightly more complex sequence:

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper 
dmesg | grep ndis

Thank you for your kind comments.

[Relinies]

Both of them as one command or as two seperate ones?

[chili555]

Do the first, press Enter and note any errors or warnings. There may be none. Then do the second and press Enter. Note any output and post it here.

[Relinies]

relinies@Relinies-Ubuntu:~$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
relinies@Relinies-Ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep ndis
[   45.007466] ndiswrapper version 1.57 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)

[  112.453946] ndiswrapper: driver bcmwlhigh5 (Belkin International, Inc.,02/17/2011, 5.60.180.11) loaded

I have NO idea what was different, but sudo modprobe ndiswrapper is a command i've used before, and it's always failed. It never moved on to a new line for typing a command, instead kinda glitched out and made symbols like: ]> for arrow keys and etc.
But it worked.

[chili555]

It looks pretty normal. Let's load it on boot automatically.

sudo su
echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules
exit
iwconfig

Can you connect?

[Relinies]

I still can't connect, but the given commands brought on two changes. First: The bright green light on the adapter was replaced with two dim lights, one green one orange. One is the indicator that it works, the other shows a padlock and I assume it indicated the use of a protected network. The second can be seen in the log, the new wlan0 listing.
I don't think that's right.

The log:

relinies@Relinies-Ubuntu:~$ sudo su

I still can't connect,

That's the frequent behavior for your driver bcmwlhigh5.inf on 64-bit; everything looks perfect but it won't actually connect. Does it scan?

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

You might try turning N speeds and encryption off in the router, momentarily, of course. We might learn something helpful if we isolate what is and isn't working: N? WPA2? WPA? etc.

It certainly looks close.
