OK.. how’s this for something strange…<\/p>\n
Under Windows the wireless LAN driver can see the access point, register with it using WAP, thinks it’s sending packet but doesn’t and doesn’t receive any packets. It can see the MAC address of the AP and the signal strength etc. This is after wiping the Windows partition and reinstalling with a clean install.<\/p>\n
Under Linux the same NDIS driver (from the same install source) loads using ndiswrapper and everything just works as it should.<\/p>\n
Erm, what on earth can I be missing which is preventing it all working under Windows? I haven’t a clue!<\/p>\n
If it weren’t for the Linux side of things working perfectly I would think that there was possibly a hardware fault with the receiver or antenna, so it must be software. However, this is a totally clean install of Windows with a clean install of the driver so it shouldn’t be a software problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
