Hi,
Sorry to keep posting- but following old King Bruce's principle...

So if iwconfig doesn't sense the presence of my USB adapter (MA111)
what could be wrong?
Specifics
Knoppix 3.9 (from Live CD)
MA111 USB adapter (led is on)

Downloaded the XP drivers, did the ndiswrapper thing.
I used the ndiswrapper that came with the Knoppix.

iwconfig
gives
"no wireless extensions"

ifconfig wlan0 up
gives
Error while getting interface flags: no such device

Thanks
