&gt;and also at:
&gt;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Installation";>http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Installation</a>
&gt;
&gt;basically I get to the part where I run :
&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&gt;rcraver at rcraver:~&gt; ndiswrapper -l
&gt;Installed ndis drivers:
&gt;lstinds driver present
&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&gt;
&gt;I see the drivers installed
&gt;
&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&gt;rcraver:/home/rcraver # modprobe ndiswrapper
&gt;rcraver:/home/rcraver # iwconfig
&gt;lo        no wireless extensions.
&gt;
&gt;sit0      no wireless extensions.
&gt;
&gt;eth0      no wireless extensions.
&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&gt;
&gt;So I am not seeing any lights on the card, I am not seeing wlan0, and
&gt;I am not seeing any lights whatsoever on the card.
&gt;
&gt;Am I missing where I need to configure wlan0?
&gt;
&gt;I see in the packages in Yast that I have installed the wirelss tools
&gt;but how can I tell if it is installed and not just that the package is
&gt;on the machine?
&gt;
&gt;Is it possible I am just not using the correct driver?
&gt;
&gt;I got the driver from:
&gt;
&gt;Card: Linksys #[WPC54G v2], 54Mbps -- [link here|List#WPC54G v2]
&gt;
&gt;    * Chipset: Texas Instruments ACX 111
&gt;    * pciid: 104c:9066
&gt;    * Driver: Linksys <a  rel="nofollow" href="ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wpc54gv2_driver_utility_";>ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wpc54gv2_driver_utility_</a>
&gt;v2.02.zip
&gt;
&gt;-The driver is a .zip and I tried all of the .sys files in the .zip
&gt;and only one of them worked, I got an error message with the oters
&gt;when I ran the &quot;ndiswrapper -l&quot; command.
&gt;-I never did an unzip or anything (is there something I should do with that?
&gt;
&gt;A friend of mine has suggested just going without wireless and just
&gt;using the Eth port and a cable, but I want to see this work, thats why
&gt;I got linux to begin with :)
&gt;
&gt;Any questions, slight guidance, or just outright &quot;here is how you do
&gt;it&quot; is welcome.
&gt;
&gt;Thanks in advance,
&gt;
