Public bug reported:
I upgraded overnight to 12.04 beta, and once told about ndiswrapper-
dkms, I installed it. However, there is a problem - when I boot into
KDE, my network applet shows no interfaces, and iwconfig from the
konsole does not either.
I had to sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper, unplug my device (A Siemens
Gigaset USB 108 Wifi adapter, 129B:160C, Atheros AR5523 Chipset), sudo
modprobe ndiswrapper, then plug the device in, before the network applet
and iwconfig picked up the existance of wlan0 and my device.
Before doing this, I did confirm through sudo ndiswrapper -l that my
device was being found, and was configured - the output of that command
being:
thor@Hunter96-Watchman90:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
[sudo] password for thor:
net5523 : driver installed
device (129B:160C) present
Since it was detecting that the device was there, and the appropriate
driver was installed, I'm mystified as to how ndiswrapper missed the
device as an interface, or if it wasn't ndiswrapper, what caused wlan0
not to activate.
Any ideas welcomed.
