This is a Linksys Wiress-g Portable stick. So I've gotten this to work, sort of. Here is what I did:

ndiswrapper -i WUSB54G.ini
ndiswrapper -l
modprobe ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -m

which writes a config file in /etc/modeprob for the driver and should load it on startup (it doesn't).

Now, my system detects the hardware, connects to the AP and gets an IP Address using DHCP. The problem is I can't ping any external domains such as google.com. I can't figure out why it will not resolve even though it claims it has the DNS and Gateway info from DHCP. Any ideas?

My second question stems from above. It doesn't load on startup but if I take the USB stick out and then put it back in it loads fine. Why?

Hello,
That is typical behavior when using ndiswrapper, not loading on startup even though it should. You may want to try a different driver.
