    INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter problem in Ubuntu

    Now, I am using Ubuntu without looking back to my WinXp. The installation went fine via wubi. Now I am in dual boot environment. All screen, audio, touchpad is ok, but the wireless is not visible in my network manager.

    I start by checking the restricted driver and no proprietory driver is detected. strange. After googling for few hours, I found solutions, by using ndiswrapper. My wireless chipset is INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter, download it via here .

    Install ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper utils

    sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common

    sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 

     extract the driver and issue this command

    sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/sicksand/Desktop/driver/Winxp/neti2220.inf

    check if the driver is installed

    ndiswrapper -l

    neti2220 : driver installed

    device 17FE:2220 present

    now, load the module and check for error

    sudo depmod -a

    sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

    now you can see network manager and wireless shoud be visible by now. now to load it at startup

    sudo ndiswrapper -m

    edit file /etc/modules and add “ndiswrapper” (without the quote) and the eof, save it and you’re done.
