Ndiswrapper... Wusb54gsc.inf : Invalid Driver

Laptop: Toshiba satellite A45
Operating system: OpenSUSE 10.3
Wireless Device: Linksys Wireless- G usb with speed booster
Model Number: WUSB54GSC


OK... i have the original CD that came with the Wireless USB it has the WUSB54GSC.inf file
i have done

ndiswrapper -i /media/sr0/Drivers/WUSB54GSC.inf
(that installs it off CD)

then:
ndiswrapper -l

and i get WUSB54GSC Invalid driver!
Ive tried a couple other drivers but i get the same thing

the one off the CD, when i go to /etc/ndiswrapper (may not be correct directory, but i did go to the ndiswrapper file) i can see the WUSB54GSC folder withe the driver inside along with another file

i continued to:
/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -m

says ive already made alias (which i have)

Then:
/usr/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
No such file or directory
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
Unknown interface
/usr/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 up
Unknown command up
/usr/sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan
Interface doesnt support scaning

When I install Drivers it says
Installing...
Couldn't find SourceDisksFiles section- continuing anyway...
couldn't get manufacturer section- installation maybe incomplete

When i try to open a Makefile i get:
Permission Denied

Helllllllllp!

post the output of

/sbin/lspci -v

from a console, then we will see which drivers to use

Andy
p.s. moved to wireless section

my apologies,use

/sbin/lsusb

for usb devices
Andy

P.S. i had another older version which is a pci card for linksys and i was able to get that working... because i had the appropriate drivers, but the range it can pick up is not so great... when i shutdown my computer and turn it on later it says no wireless device or something like that. how do i get it connecting and starting up automatically when i boot up? (for bothe when i get both working)

unfortunately the usb device isn't listed. going on info so far, you could try the drivers from here http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ also, when going the ndiswrapper route,you need to include the .sys & .cat files as well.

Andy

to install the .sys and .cat files do i do it the same way i installed the .inf files?

do i have to go ina any specific order?

see my how-to here for ndiswrapper http://stuntmanandy.no-ip.biz/Howto%27s.html just scroll down to find it. it is not the best,but it works for most

Andy

ok thanks, ill report back tomorrow (i can only access internet through library computers)

sorry i have to report back tomorrow hadnt had a chance to do anything yet.
