I've got the feeling that something on my install isn't quite right. I tried to install ndiswrapper which went ok, but when I tried to follow the instructions some things weren't quite as they should be. First of all where as I'm told I should be able to type just ndiswrapper into a console window, I have to type /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper same goes for iwconfig for which I have to type /sbin/iwconfig and I still can't seem to do a scan. If a reinstall isn't required is there something I can do to check my install out to see what is wrong?
Most likely you are typing those commands as a regular user instead of root. typing 'su -' (without quotes) on the command line will get you to the root user which will allow you to setup your wireless.
