I'm pretty newbish. I've searched all over these forums and i cannot find the answer to my problem (could be due to poor searching, i'm not totally sure). I also wasn't sure where to post this, thought this looked the best.

Basically i've finally gotten the driver for my wireless card (Linksys WPC54G) installed, using Ndiswrapper and the driver for another card with the TI chipset. When i do lspci it shows that the card is enabled (although upon first boot, everything is disabled until i modprobe ndiswrapper?!). The problem is that i can't see the card through the Network Device Control, nor can i see the card or driver listed under the Network Config GUI.

I run iwconfig/ifconfig and i see the card, i assign it an IP, nothing, i tell it to pick any ap, nothing, tell it a channel, nothing. I'm stumped, as are some friends of mine whose knowledge FAR surpasses mine. Thanks in advance for ANY help you can possibly offer.

I have the same exact card where did you go to get information as far as setting up the card cause thats where im having the problem also i might have already done all the steps there is as far as setting up and it might be working and me not even know it. If you could let me know where you got the info on setting up I can read it and see if i have done all the steps already thanks

Follow this guide:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Installation

And use this driver:
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wpc54g_driver_utility_v1.3.zip

It's not too hard to do, but i'm still left with MY problem, i hope you get farther than i did.
