Cannot Get Ndiswrapper Working According To Tutorials

Ladies and gentelmen, please help - I am at my wits end.

I am trying to install an Intel wireless card on a Gateway laptop (Suse 10.3).

I used ndiswrapper and andrews18's tutorial. I got through everything except the very last part: NDISGTK. Could not use the utility so I did the install manually therefrom and ran the Yast. The card is detected. Running iwlist wlan0 scan generated a list of networks, including mine. The name also come up in KNetworkManager. The network connection gets to 28% and goes nowhere or tells me that it cannot connect.

I am able to connect to the WLAN on XP and Vista with card. (I dual boot with Vista).

I greatly appreciate your help.

This often means that something is wrong with your configuration (via yast). Check your wireless settings are correct to connect with your router. Check your firewall settings with respect to this device as well.

This thread dealt with similar connection issue (different hardware though).

If you still have problems, post output (as root) of

ifconfig
iwconfig

Thank you very much I will look into it.

if it is an intel wireless device you have,why not use the native linux drivers from the cd/dvd ?

Agreed. I overlooked your first post stating you have an Intel wireless chipset. Uninstall ndiswrapper and use the linux drivers.
