wireless connection not working

[ftomika]

Hi!

I've just installed kubuntu 6.06, but I cannot connect to the internet.
I have an Us Robotics usb adapter.
I browsed through the docs about ndiswrapper, but it still doesn't work.

That's what I did:

tamas@DJABE:~$
tamas@DJABE:~$ ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
rsc4usb driver present, hardware present
tamas@DJABE:~$ cd /etc/ndiswrapper/rsc4usb/
tamas@DJABE:/etc/ndiswrapper/rsc4usb$ ls -la

All the descriptions say that there should be a wlan0 interface as well, but I don't have it.
The other thing is that they say after the step 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' I can go to the Networking and activate the card.
Where is it? I couldn't find it.
I have a 'wireless network assistant' or something like this in the menu, but if I click on it, nothing happens.
Does anybody have any idea what shall I do?
Thanks!
