System-->Administration-->Networking tells me eth0 is active. How
do I double-check that I'm really using ndiswrapper? The terminal gave
me no error messages when I made several ndiswrapper commands. BTW, I
reported that eth0 command incorrectly in my first post. It was
actually "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" as per Sourceforge:
