ndiswrapper loads but the device isn't showing up in the dmesg output and iwconfig doesn't show it either. ndiswrapper -l shows the driver installed and hardware is present. Googling hasn't provided an answer and neither has the ndiswrapper FAQ. lsusb doesn't show the device but Mandrivas UsbView and lshw sees the device. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing both the device driver and ndiswrapper. The device has power and it works when booted to the Windows partition. I'm using the driver that came on the CD for the WUSB54Gv2. Does anyone have a solution? (And yes, I followed the installation wiki even though I'm quite proficient with ndiswrapper).
Mandriva 2006, stock kernel 2.6.12, ndiswrapper 1.19rc2.
