Hello,
I’m struggling to get my D-link DWA-142 Wireless USB card to work in openSUSE 11.0. I have installed ndiswrapper and ndisgtk and I used the drivers v1.30(*.inf, *.cat, *.sys) in my C:\Windows… folder to install the drivers. After looking in Yast it seams that the hardware are OK but there is no sign of life from the card. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Post the output of ‘uname -a’, iwconfig, ‘iwlist scan’, route,
and ‘ndiswrapper -l’, and we’ll have a clue what to suggest next.
OK, here is my output of those commands:

I was able to solve this myself. I just changed from WEP to no security and connected with Knetworkmanager. Case closed.
