I am not sure if ndsiwrapper is required.
I saw an alternate method (may be the right method) at Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver for Linux
But I thought this was very long and complicated.
Well the results after installing the ndsiwrapper as follows:
Code:
[root@localhost v32]# ndiswrapper -l

I will try using eth1 and let you know.
One more thing, I went to system-->administration-->network
Under devices I could see 1 device only --> eth0
When I tried to activate it, it waited for some seconds and said "no link found check cable." So as you said, it could be the lan card.
Under hardware I could see 1 entry only --> broadcom something
I couldnt see intel 3945abg anywhere.
I am unable to browse the web from my Mandrake installation
I have 2 nics set up, one for the network(eth0) and one for the wireless internet(eth1).
eth0 is setup in the 192.168.0.x range (static)
eth1 is set up in the 192.168.1.x range (dhcp)
both use the same netmask

switch_root
SWITCH_ROOT(8) System Administration SWITCH_ROOT(8)NAME
switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree
SYNOPSIS
switch_root [-hV]
switch_root newroot init [arg...]
DESCRIPTION
switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev and /sys to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.
WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.
OPTIONS -h, --help
show help and exit
-V, --version
show version number and exit
RETURN VALUE
switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
NOTES
switch_root will fail to function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:
mount --bind $DIR $DIR
