Hi,

In the step 4, after completing the steps before, when I type “iwconfig” all I get is this:

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

It doesn’t appear wlan0 in here… Could you help me, please?

Thanks,
Melqyahd

This was extremely useful, concise but thorough. I had spent 3 days trying to get this to work with a Netgear WN311T using ndiswrapper, and this provided the breakthrough.

Next step is to make it work automatically on boot.

Wow, this was a very useful and well written guide. This is only my second day using ubuntu after years of Windows, but thanks to the clarity of your guide I had no trouble getting my wpa-psk card working. (However, before I found this guide I was lost in a swamp of overly complicated procedures and piecemeal advice from various forums.)
