    WiFi Network Errors in Breezy!

    Hi,

    i recently downloaded Kubuntu as my first linux distro ever (5.10) the other day (i posted it here and not in network because im a new user who knows very little on linux, i know what ive vbeen able to pick up from guides on wireless). After installing it i wanted to get my wireless internet USB working (WUSB54Gv1) but noticed that i couldnt do it without some other programs. Ive tried alot of things to try to get it to work but nothing seems to be working.

    Things ive tried:

    1. I downloaded ndiswrapper and followed a guide (dont have link anymore) which guided me through untaring ndiswrapper 1.5 and replacing the 1.1 that comes with Kubuntu with the 1.5. I got to a command which was "make deb" where it was supposed to make 2 .deb files. Only 1 was made because the other one had errors in the process (Errors were all related to gcc-3.4 command not found)

    2. I tried using the ndiswrapper that came with Kubuntu. I followed the instalation until i got to the point where you were starting to configured access points etc. What happened was i used the command "ndiswrapper -i WUSB54G.inf" and it worked and then i typed "ndiswrapper -l" and it said that the driver was found and the hardware was found BUT when i typed "dmesg", instead of giving me "wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device xxxxxxx" it gave me these 3 errors:

    ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:273): log: C000138A, count: 3 (c0000001), return address: f8d56fcb, entry: f8d696bb offset: 4294891792
    ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_add_one_usb_dev:312): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (c0010006)
    ndiswrapper: probe of 5-2:1.0 failed with error -22

    It did however give me these right above the 3 errrors:
    ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=no, smp=no)
    ndiswrapper: driver wusb54g (The Cisco-Linksys, LLC.,01/12/2004, 1.0.8.0) loaded

    Please help, i cant think of anything else to do, i looked for Prism54 drivers but i couldnt find any. Ive downloaded the Linksys Drivers for the USB off of the site and ive also tried using the ones on the disk but i get the same errors for both

    EDIT: I forgot, i also tried something that was something like "make distclean" "make" "make install" to install ndiswrapper but it failed on the "make" and "make install"

    Do you have the basic compilers installed, doesn't look like it from complaining about gcc and not being able to run make.  From a command line sudo apt-get install build-essential should allow you to install, if it throws errors then you may need to install a few more packages, it normally gives a clue in the error (which you can post here if you can't work it out)
