I just install USB wireless device using ndiswrapper and the interface is wlan0. I run iwconfig setup (ISSD, key, etc) and wlan0 already recognize
my
router MAC address. I try to set up using network config but my device
does
not show up in the choices.
That is usually the hard part! Could you please post what the result of iwconfig wlan0 is. And after you have set up ESSID with something like iwconfig wlan0 essid $ESSID could you post that as well? Then just try ifconfig wlan0 and see what you get. In order to use the wireless device with network config I think you have to set up a new device while ndiswrapper is running and then it will show up as an option. Frankly though I never use the network config interface. I like the hands on 'iwconfig', 'ifconfig' command line...
Hi I finally can install it. After I do ndiswrapper -m it will appear in network config. How do you set the interface to be a dhcp client using ifconfig command line? All that I can see it can only set up a static IP.
I do not think you can. DHCP is enabled in the /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-wlan0 (or whatever the interface is called). Running 'service network restart' after setting up the config file should restart the interface using the ifcfg- file.
