Post subject:  Belkin Wireless.

Hello out there.

I am hoping that this great and wonderfull forum can at least point me in the right direction.

I have been poking and prodding for days trying to get the silly wireless connection up and running.

I managed to get it up and running.

this is my /etc/network/interfaces

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface wlan inet dhcp


However, it won't start wireless up, once I have restarted my machine.

After restart, i can still do the ndiswrapper and all those instructions to get it there.

The lan starts ok, but no wifi.

Try making /etc/network/interfaces look like this:

Code:
auto lo wlan0
iface lo inet loopback

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
   wireless-essid mynetworkname
   wireless-mode Managed


Where mynetworkname is the name of your wireless network (set on your router).

I'm assuming your wlan should be wlan0 - it is for me & I use ndiswrapper.

BTW: It is my understanding that you should either have wireless or wired (eth0) active, not both. Having both will cause problems.

is ndiswrapper in your modules file, did you do a modules-update?

is the ndiswrapper alias setup in your modules.conf file?
