Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-nettool
With reference to question 122091; first, I thank the responder for the advice and effort to that question. This is an effort to get a Netgear USB WNDAv2 wireless to work with Ubuntu 10. 1 - installed wine to extract the driver file from Netgear. 2 - downloaded WNDA3100v2 Software versions 1.7, 1.6, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0. I did this because wine would not extract 1.1 through 1.7. I finally settled on 1.0 which ran through the setup.exe routine in wine. 3 - copied the WinXP2000 file with the following files to /usr/local -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 7427 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx64.cat -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 7450 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx.cat -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 747008 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh564.sys -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 167298 2009-05-15 11:58 bcmwlhigh5.inf -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 632576 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh5.sys 4 - installed the latest version of ndiswrapper from sourceforge. 5 - ran ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf 6 - command ndiswrapper -l indicated both the device and the driver were present 7 - loading the ndiswrapper did not solve the connection problem; the wireless usb connection does not yet work. There is no output for wlan0 with the iwconfig command. This shows no wireless device to be present. 8 - blacklisted the following in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to avoid any driver conflicts: #conflict with ndsiwrapper #(see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper) blacklist bcm43xx blacklist b43 blacklist b43legacy blacklist ssb NOW, an additional problem has popped-up. - Not only does the WNDA3100 still not work but I need to blacklist ndiswrapper at startup. Reason is that if the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, the main login screen no longer opens and I cannot login to the system. I need to boot into failsafe at the root level and blacklist ndiswrapper, then reboot the system. If the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, I cannot even use the GUI failsafe mode as no login screen appears. I have reinstalled the OS three times today. I can confirm absolutely that the system is completely current and that blacklisting ndiswrapper prior to booting is the core of the problem. It does not make any difference if I install ndiswrapper from Synaptic or from Sourceforge.
