Linksys wpc 600n wireless card

You should run:

sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf; sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

As all files in /etc/modprobe.d must end in .conf (no idea why).

Your system has 2 wireless interfaces, One is a broadcom, the other is an Atheros. Which chip does the troublesome adapterhave on it?

The Linksys WPC600N which is the Broadcom driver. It is a Broadcom chipset, BCM4312 WLAN-abg MiniCard Dual Band.
Thanks

Tried sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf and got error: cannot stat '/ect/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper' : No such file or directory. If I look a computer-file system they are there

OK what is the output of:

sudo iwlist scan

Thanks

wlan1 is the wireless device and is finding SSIDs. I think you may need to install wicd so you can select the wlan1 as your wifi device and get connected. I suggest you do this via a wired connection.

Yes wlan1, the Linksys WPC600N, is finding the SSID, but it appears under two (2) places in the connect icon on the top of the screen. One under Atheros and again under Braodcom when it is connected. The driver it is using is Atheros and not Broadcom, and should not their be only on connection under the icon?

Do you need both wireless devices?

No I just want the Linksys-Broadcom-wlan1
Thanks

Still trying. If I turn the Atheros hardware of and have the wpc600n card insterted I can connect to the internet at very slow speed (see above). Found a link, http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_chipset.php?chipset=Broadcom that says the card works. I said to use the bcm4321 drive at http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php. Went to this site and looked at readme which says Ubuntu should already have pre-compiled and ready to install qoute:
"Some distros (Ubuntu and Fedora at the least) already have a version of
this driver in their repositories precompiled, tested and ready to go.
You just use the package manager to install the proper package. If
its available for your distro, this is usually an easier solution. See
the end of this document for further discussion"
rebooted, no difference. I am new and do not know what to do with source
One other piece of info; the card is seen under wireless manger and when I try to use it by itself under its heading, it just keeps asking for the password.
Can anyone help. My wife hate for Vista to load to the point of use. If I can not get this to work I quess I will have to install windows xp or if anyone knows of either a PC Card or USB Card (wireless) that works out of the box please let me know.
Thanks

it's working, I suggest you use a wired connection and get fully updated as well as install wicd. Should be fine.

No it not working. Will I am about ready to give up. I can not find what wicd is. I have gotten no further than were I was at the first post. I only get any were when the switch to turn on the internal wifi card is on. When off both wlan0 and wlan1 are disabled. When the switch is on both wlan0 and wlan1 (the one I want; i.e., the wrt600n) show up and wireless networks including mine are shown. Choosing my network on wlan0 (Atheros) works but had dial-up speed at best. Choosing wlan1 just keep asking for password. I have spent days on this.
In windows all I had to due was insert the Linksys CD and it installed the drivers and the system works (with switch off for the internal card).

Get a wired connection and run:

sudo apt-get install wicd

Done.
