    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    josefcarel: it looks like the madwifi driver is still not claiming your card. Did you run the script?

    Don't worry if you already ran the commands from page 5. You don't need to remove anything. Just run the madwifi.sh script. If after running that your connection still doesn't work, please post the output of:
    Code:
    modinfo ath_pci
    sudo modprobe ath_pci ath5k ath9k
    sudo iwlist scan
    dmesg | grep ath

    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    josefcarel: It looks like the new driver was installed properly, but it doesn't seem to be loading. What is the output of:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe ath_pci
    dmesg | grep ath
    Does the second command give you no output?

    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    josefcarel: it looks like the madwifi driver doesn't want to support your card. Is it really new? Unfortunately I don't know what else you can do besides wait for the developers to add support; if you used the madwifi.sh script, then you should already have the most recent version of madwifi available.

    So I guess your only option is to go back to ndiswrapper. You can switch back by adding the madwifi modules to the blacklist again by typing:
    Code:
    echo ath_pci | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    echo ath5k | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    echo ath9k | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    Then reboot and ndiswrapper should claim the card again.

    I know that you had bad performance with ndiswrapper. If you want to make it work better, your options include compiling from source (step #7 of the first post in this thread) or trying different Windows drivers. This may help, but maybe not.

    Also, what is the output of this command:
    Code:
    lspci -nn

    OK I will go back to ndiswrapper that its no so bad. I wanted to make it better and also learn about madwifi. Im very interested in Linux from the ideological point of view. Im an old person aged 64 looking for a better world.

    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    josefcarel: I did some more searching because this card really should work with madwifi, but there are other users reporting issues with the 168c:001c devices. You're not the only person I've tried to help lately with this kind of problem.

    The most promising reference that I found is this page, which has instructions for compiling the ath5k driver, which might work better for your card than ath_pci. If you want to install ath5k, first download this file and save it to your desktop.

    Next, type:

    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    A file will open. Look for a line that says blacklist ath5k (probably at the end of the file). Delete this line, then save and close the file.

    Then run these commands:
    Code:
    sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
    sudo update-rc.d -f linux-restricted-modules-common remove
    cd ~/Desktop
    tar xvf compat*
    cd compat*
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential
    make
    sudo make install
    sudo make unload
    sudo make load
    Do you have a wireless connection recognized now by typing the 'iwconfig' command?

    If this causes problems, just reboot and you should have ndiswrapper again. If these commands make your wireless work better than with ndiswrapper, let me know and we can make ath5k drive the card permanently.

    Well, Im just back in Ndiswrapper again and for the moment I will be there but in the next future i will try for shure with madwifi as your advice. This is mi wife's laptop and she wants her computer back.
    Thanks any way for your help

    Thank-you! After following your step by step tutorial, my Motrorola pci card WPC 1810g with Broadcom BCM 4306 [14e4:4320] (rev 3) chipset works flawlessly. WOW!! Ndiswrapper rocks!
