<p style="margin: 0px;">Hi, everyone.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I like to read random stuff on this list, but I hardly ever post.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Now, I have a problem.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">When I try to install a wireless network driver, the system freezes.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">When I open a Konsole window and type "ndiswrapper -l", the Konsole freezes like the command is doing something, but hours pass and nothing happens. The same goes for "lsusb" and "modprobe -r ndiswrapper". I installed a thing called ndisgtk, and it freezes as soon as I start it up.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I have a dual-boot system, with 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Kubuntu 10.04, and everything was fine when I had a wired Internet connection, but now I'm using a wireless connection that's in another room. I bought a D-Link DWA 130 for that purpose, because I remembered somewhere that D-Link adapters play well with Linux.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">In Windows, it works fine. In Kubuntu, my system doesn't seem to even recognize what a wireless network is.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I followed some instructions and installed everything related to wireless networking and I copied over some files and installed one with Ndiswrapper. Not only did it not help, but I think I'm actually worse off than when I started.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Thank you.</p>
