[ubuntu-uk] Wireless adapter not showing in Network settings Was: Problems installing Ndiswrapper in Wubi 8.04

How does THAT work? OK so I got Ndiswrapper installed, the Realtek 8187b Win98 driver is installed, if I issue all the modprobe commands, there are no errors. The GUI for Ndiswrapper tells me the drive is installed and the hardware is present. However, if I go to Network settings, the wireless adapter does NOT show up. I've tried forcing the load, everything. Still no-show. HELP! -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Have you followed instructions and done as below? - Install *ndiswrapper-utils-1.9* via your preferred method. - From the terminal run: *sudo ndiswrapper -i /your_path_to/wireless_driver.inf* - We now check if the driver has correctly installed. From the terminal run: *ndiswrapper -l*. If all is good you will see the following output: sis163u : driver installed - device (0BF8:100F) present - Next we do the dependencies and load up the ndiswrapper kernel module. Run: *sudo depmod -a* followed by *sudo modprobe ndiswrapper*. This will load everything and allow you to use NetworkManagerhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManagerto check if any wireless networks are available. Note: Rebooting will drop the module. - To have the module loaded at every boot add *ndiswrapper* to a newline at the bottom of */etc/modules*.
