Interface doesn't support scanning.
I don't think anything is dead, as it's a brand new router and laptop that work fine with Windows XP.
Indeed. But I buttume it's not wireless-related. lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device sit0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
Actually the man page doesn't give a '-a' option. The output is -a No such device

For the record:
ndiswrapper -l gives: Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5 driver present, harware present
etc-modprobe.d-ndiswrapper contains alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
etc-network-interfaces includes: iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wireless-channel 10 wireless-mode managed
Maybe there needs to be a symbolic link between wlan0 and eth1, but it's not clear to me where it should be made.
