A wierd problem (Fixed I Believe)

[smeghead67]

I have a 7.10 set up (dual boot with XP) but it doesn't see my wireless card. its not listed in network manager

the system sees it when I run lspci -v
result:

Network controller: ADMtek ADM8211 802.11b Wireless Interface (rev 11)
Subsystem: Abocom Systems Inc Unknown device ab60
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
I/O ports at de00 [size=256]
Memory at fe9eec00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
Expansion ROM at 50000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>

So I found the driver and ran ndiswrapper
result:

ndiswrapper -l
netadm11 : driver installed
device (1317:8201) present

I set my /etc/network/interfaces to

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp

still no happiness and no interface. And I run iwconfig and get.

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

I need some help here. Thank you in advance.

Re: A wierd problem

Tanderson, thank you!

Modprobe made it show up. Knetwokmanager has it as only manual config but at least I can see it. Should I get kwifi manager or fight with knetworkmanager?

Re: A wierd problem

glad I could help.

Knetworkmanager is working good for me, so I would say struggle through it. Make sure kde wallet is running and explore your right click menu from the knetworkmanager icon in the system tray.

Re: A wierd problem

ok I am so the noob.

I saw that kwallet is installed.
I havent found it in the menu.
and all i can see on the knetwork manager is manual config.

i have no idea if its set right. help
