installation of wireless adapter

I have the original driver cd and ndiswrapper; ndisgtk; menu are installed.
,

I assume you read this?
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225206&highlight=WUSB54

Its a bit old, but it may well still apply. Unfortunately, I do not have your hardware, and have not had to use ndiswrapper myself.

running on the suggestion from mycae t=225206&highlightWUSB54 I came up with the following errors following the instructions in the link provided

/home/stanislaus/Desktop/Screenshot.png

file:///home/stanislaus/Desktop/Screenshot.png

i do not know what program there is to show the image on this info box.

basically the commands to compile ndiswrapper

make
make install

sudo ndiswrapper -m

will not run

stanislaus@stanislaus-W3107:~$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Could not read '/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory

did a sudo lsusb and a sudo lshw.

lsusb identified the WUSB54GSC usb wireless adapter

nothing that I could identify relating to it as I know showed up when I did a sudo lshw.

why can I not get ndiswrapper to run in any way, shape, or form?

Your wireless adapter uses the Broadcom 43xx chipset. ndiswrapper is not necessary. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

More specifically, see this section (your adapter has bcm 4320): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers

Thank you. I rcvd the response right when I was ready to give up. As it is
I just finished carrying the w3107 up two flights of stairs and reconnecting
it to power. I do not have a hardwired internet connection upstairs. Time
to rest and think about it. Gracias.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

Thanks

though this is for another wireless adapter this is the output I get:

stanislaus@stanislaus-W3107:~$ sudo lshw -C network

Ok now we know the chip, it's using a RTL8191S Chip.

Try:

sudo modprobe r8192_usb; sleep 5; sudo iwlist scan

If you don't see SSIDs, then run:

dmesg | tail -n 25 > ~/Desktop/dmesg.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/dmesg.txt

and give the output. Thanks. (You can delete the file after you paste the update)

after trying:
stanislaus@stanislaus-W3107:~$ sudo modprobe r8192_usb; sleep 5; sudo iwlist
scan
FATAL: Module r8192_usb not found.
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU; sudo cp /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE/rtl8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/

Should make it work. If you run:

sudo modprobe -r r8192_usb; sleep 5; sudo modprobe r8192_usb; sleep 5; sudo iwlist scan

Better?

Not really better. do not know why it is repsonding the way it is.

Is it possible to reverse engineer to install XP and Vista when the machine is working with ubuntu as the main operating system?

I am thinking of reinstalling xp on the w3107 and vista on the hp dv9500 and then with wubi install ubuntu on the machines.

ok can you give the output of:

lsmod

Thanks

You will have the same issue under wubi.

If you grab the windows driver (the .inf and .sys (NOT autorun.inf)) then you can use ndisgtk and get connected that way

actionparsnip,

thank you for all your efforts.

Just as I was going to install xp back on the w3107 the system that I was
rebooting showed that it had internet connectivity. don't know how it
happened.

once again thank you.
