Hi there im new to linux and im trying to make the switch from xp but i cant get my wireless network adapter to work and i currently have set up the driver using the ndiswrapper but for some reason it doesn’t recognize the device in the usb port. i have a motorola wu380g wireless network adapter. please help so i dont have to go back to supporting bill gates.
Maybe have a read here:
Ndiswrapper - openSUSE
see also:

FYI:
If it were me and I couldn’t use some crappy usb wireless adapter. I’d get one that WORKS. No offence intended.
i checked that link out and its still no help. yes i realize that my wireless network adaptor is crap to begin with but i’d rather not spend more money then i have to.
Just to try to understand could you post the results of lsusb , lsmod and iwconfig?
lsusb:
bash: lsusb: command not found
