Motorola wireless card problem :)

[baytimur]

Sorry about jumping into the middle, I thought we were only an e-mail group 
and I was desperate, group etiquette advises taken .... I did not think that 
the volume would so high ....

Is this now a proper thread on its own ?

I did install ndiswrapper, and the power on light came on but I did not see 
the wlan0 in the network configuration so I could enter the static IP 
address I use for this card.  I am goign to continue messign with it and see 
if I can see it and configure it ....

Thanks for the pointers ....
