I tried using Vista x86 and x64 drivers with ndiswrapper. Neither appeared to work.I thought I had to use ndiswrapper, but as I was browsing around the web to find the windows driver, I found a linux driver, so I began to follow the directions, but got stuck while running a command didn't work. I have no experience with wireless in Linux.

This can be done by setting the static IP via "ifconfig wlan0 IP_ADDRESS" command, or using DHCP. If using DHCP, setting steps is as below: (1)connect to an AP via "iwconfig" settings iwconfig wlan0 essid [name] or iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (2)run the script which run the dhclient ./wlan0dhcp or dhcpcd wlan0 (Some network admins require that you use the hostname and domainname provided by the DHCP server. In that case, use dhcpcd -HD wlan0) < WPAPSK > WPA_SUPPLICANT help the network to communicate under the protection of WPAPSK mechanism (1)Unpack source code of WPA supplicant: tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.4.9.tar.gz cd wpa_supplicant-0.4.9 (2)Create .config file: cp defconfig .config (3)Edit .config file, uncomment the following line: #CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y. (4)Build WPA supplicant: make If make error for lack of , install the openssl lib: 1. Install the openssl lib from corresponding installation disc: Fedora Core 2/3/4/5/6/7(openssl-0.9.71x-xx), Mandrake10.2/Mandriva10.2(openssl-0.9.7x-xmdk), Debian 3.1(libssl-dev), Suse 9.3/10.0/10.1(openssl_devl), Gentoo(dev-libs/openssl), etc. 2. Download the openssl open source package from www.openssl.org, build and install it. (5)Edit wpa_supplicant.conf to set up SSID and its passphrase. For example, the following setting in "wpa1.conf" means SSID to join is "BufAG54_Ch6" and its passphrase is "87654321". network={ ssid="BufAG54_Ch6" proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40 psk="87654321" priority=2 } Note: 1. proto=WPA for WPA, proto=RSN for WPA2. 2. If you want to connect an AP which works under WPA2 mixed mode, you'd better use Realtek customed wpa_supplicant package. (6)Execute WPA supplicant (Assume 8185 and related modules had been loaded): ./wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0 & chris@ubuntu:~/Desktop/rtl8185_linux_26.1027.0823.2007$ ./makedrv

I appended this to my /etc/network/interfaces Code: iface wlan0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 and I restarted the networking service. Now I remember how I got the driver. I went to here. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/j...3/id,list_o-z/ Then I clicked on the link for the tew-424UB driver. I was about to get the Windows driver, but then I saw there was a Linux driver. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Downloads=true This is the direct download to the file I got. ftp://209.216.61.149/cn/wlan/rtl8185...23.2007.tar.gz lsusb shows this Code: $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
