Well i have been at this for days and i have posted in the forums as well but to no avail. so here goesIf you are sure that you have hotplug/coldplug working and that the device is recognized, double check that ndiswrapper is loaded ('lsmod') and that ndiswrapper has the correct driver loaded and recognizing the device ('ndiswrapper -l')
Im having troubles getting my USB wireless working. I have the kernel configs right i followed the how to on gentoo wiki. I have built my driver with ndiswrapper and installed it as well. My led light comes on to let me know the wireless module is working. Howerver when doing a iwconfig i get
Code: lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions
I updated my baselayout and all that as well. I had wireless working on this laptop before with gentoo. I have recently done a fresh install. I wrote down everything i did before to get it working but this time no luck
The USB module is WirelessLAN Prism3 IEEE802.11b WM168 USB Module
Im at a loss any ideas ?? Thanks.
also i remember last time the card would show up with the lsusb command but now all i get is this
Code: Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
as far as i know and believe i have USB enabled yes, i could be wrong though how did you enable yours ?
also if i run iwconfig wlan0 i get this
Code: iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 No such device
its still not showing up
i get this in dmesg

# lsmod Module Size Used by radeon 126372 2 ndiswrapper 128564 0 parport_pc 27840 1
If you do not see ndiswrapper, load it ('modprobe ndiswrapper')#ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
If you do not see the driver, find the inf file and add it ('ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf' ).
If you do see it try deleting it ('modprobe -r ndiswrapper' then 'ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5') then readding it especially if you upgraded ndiswrapper recently ('ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf' then 'modprobe ndiswrapper').
Now try 'dmesg', the last four lines should look like this
ndiswrapper: using irq 10
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:4b:5d:22:50 using driver bcmwl5, configuration file 14E4:4320.5.conf
ndiswrapper (set_auth_mode:517): setting auth mode failed (C0010015)
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP
