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! </BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV> Have you followed instructions and done as below?  </DIV> <DIV> <UL> <LI class=gap> Install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 via your preferred method. <LI class=gap> From the terminal run: sudo ndiswrapper -i /your_path_to/wireless_driver.inf <LI class=gap> 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 <UL> <LI style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none"> device (0BF8:100F) present </LI></UL> <LI class=gap> 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 <A href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager">NetworkManager</A> to check if any wireless networks are available. Note: Rebooting will drop the module. <LI class=gap> To have the module loaded at every boot add ndiswrapper to a newline at the bottom of /etc/modules. </LI></UL></DIV></DIV>Regards Phil <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV>Yep - done all that.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
