whats strange is when i booted into ubuntu it found my belkin adapter, however again, i couldnt connect. said it was waiting for a network key from the network. and i know all the information is correct...

I am having a similar problem where I plug in the USB Belkin adapter

if I then type in lsusb the adapter is listed to the system has seen it
by lwconfig shows no adapter other than the loopback.

And this is where I get stuck.

lspci does not list the Belkin usb card but if I understand the command correctly it should not do anyway.

Any help appreciated.

Hello,
what the 'ifconfig' result?

Try this link:
http://my.opera.com/lounge/forums/topic.dml?id=141542

ifconfig only gives details around the lo no other device.

I will look at the other link and report back later.

Ok so I following the following steps :

Qucik and dirty ndiswrapper guide -

1)Check your adapter is OK - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List Even if its not on the list its worth a go.

2)Install ndiswrapper

3)(As root) ndiswrapper -i /Path/To/YourAdapters .inf file

4)Do lsusb eg, here are mine (im using a PCI wireless adapter so its not here)

Saturn jammin # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0457:0151 Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. Super Flash 1GB Flash Drive
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

What you need to write down is the xxxx:xxxx (eg for my mouse 045e:0040) identifier for you adapter. If one is using a PCI adapter you need to do lspci -nv and find the xxxx:xxxx identifier.

5)ndiswrapper -e xxxx:xxxx <nameOfDriverHere> (If your unsure of the name, do a ndiswrapper -l and not it down)

6)ndiswrapper -l should say "driver loaded, hardware present -

Saturn jammin # ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
netbc564 driver installed, hardware present

7)ndiswrapper -m

8)modprobe ndiswrapper

9)ifconfig wlan0 up

10)dhcpcd wlan0

All is fine tilll step 8 i.e. the dreiver is loaded fine the hardware is ok etc. Then when I go to step 9 and type in ifconfig wlan0 up - I get an error along the lines of unknown device.

ifconfig only lists L0 and no other device.

still stuck :-( help welcome.

Something to note: When I installed Ubuntu 7.10 a fews ago - reinstalling due to other reasons. it pick up the wlan USB card fine but I could not auth via WEP. But at that time I was using defauly drivers.
