MA111 under Debian Etch Linux - Can't get it to show up.
I have been attempting to get my MA111 wireless adapter recognized by my system. I have installed the following Debian Packages:
apt-get install linux-wlan-ng linux-wlan-ng-doc linux-wlan-ng-firmware
and I have run :
/usr/bin/linux-wlan-ng-bui
and installed the resulting Deb Package.
I still can't find any reference to prism2_usb for my adapter, or see anything under modprob.
The following is what I see in /proc/bus/usb/devices:

You know, I've used that before and should have thought of that. I'll give it a shot and let you know my results.
I won't be able to test it until this evening, but I'll let you know.

ok, I'm almost there. ndiswrapper is compiled with the kernel and loaded. I'm not sure why wlan0 isn't showing up though...
This is the output of dmesg and ifup wlan0:

Ok, added an entry to /etc/network/interfaces :-)
I can onw ifup wlan0, I think I got it, I just need to figure out the settings.

Something is weird about the MA111, and I still couldn't get it running. I have another adapter I got running in about 15 minutes. I'll go ahead and award points since ndiswrapper really should have worked, but I did not get it working properly.
