Question ar5523 wi-fi usb wirleess adapter

ar5523 wireleess card
ndiswrapper version 1.53

------------------------------

I instal frimware and drivers for card, as you can see:

ndiswrapper -l
athfmwdl : driver installed
device (0CF3:0002) present
net5523 : driver installed
device (0CF3:0002) present



but when I " modprobe ndiswrapper " nothing happen.
what need to hapen when I enter " modprobe ndiswrapper ".

And when I restart network, it only restart eth0 which is lan card (I am new to linux).

linux-ygca:/etc/modprobe.d # rcnetwork restart
Shutting down network interfaces:
eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) LAN Controller (rev 01) done
Shutting down service network . . . . . . . . . done
Hint: you may set mandatory devices in /etc/sysconfig/network/config
Setting up network interfaces:
eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) LAN Controller (rev 01)
eth0 Starting DHCP4 client. . . . . . . .
eth0 DHCP4 continues in background waiting
Setting up service network . . . . . . . . . . done
SuSEfirewall2: Setting up rules from /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 ...
SuSEfirewall2: batch committing...
SuSEfirewall2: Firewall rules successfully set
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in yast, network settings here is how it looks for my lan card and usb wirleess:

lan card:
82801G (ICH7 Family) LAN Controller
MAC : 00:16:76:c2:59:1c

Device Name: eth0
Started automatically at boot
IP address assigned using DHCP

wirleess:
Unknown Network Device (No hwinfo)

The device is not configured. Press Edit to configure.

but when I click on edit button I cant chancge DEVICE TYPE its selected to enthernet, and
whatever on the rest of tabs replace when I again run network setigns all apear to be blank.

when I click on add button and do as it write in tutorila, ndiserapper suse tutorial on suse pages,
I got this:

Wireless Network Card (No hwinfo)
Device Name: wlan0
Started automatically at boot
IP address assigned using DHCP

what is (No hwinfo) it seem to me it is not conected to the adapter (no mac addres, I am new to linux )
----------------------------------------------------------------
and in hardwer information on my wirleess card (ar5523):
Class (spec): Unclasssified device
Class: Unclassified device
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SOME OTHER INFORMATION:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_cf3_2_1_0'
info.subsystem = 'usb_device'
info.linux.driver = 'usb'
usb_device.product = 'AR5523 (no firmware)'
linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/005/003'
usb_device.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb5/5-7'

Exclamation Re: ar5523 wi-fi usb wirleess adapter

I found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...G_(ndiswrapper)

as you can see, the adapter is same as main, but
his on ubuntu work, and main on suse dont

And again I will ask, what need to happen when I enter
modprobe ndiswrapper
when I enter it nothing happen.
---------------------------------------------
And I think, something in the network settings must be done, because when I add new card it didint associate to
the hardwer(settings for lan card is associate to the hardwer, in its settings I can see MAC addres and so on,
but in wireless card settings no).
