[Bug 121118] Fiesty 7.04 ndiswrapper helpfile misinformation

[Quae]

Public bug reported:

Someone should update the Feisty 7.04 Helpfile to reflect the changes
regarding ndiswrapper. When troubleshooting your internet from the help
menu, it says for wireless cards to run ndiswrapper, and that it's
included on the CD. I was told on the forums that it is NOT included on
the Feisty 7.04 desktop CD.


However, if you try to use ndiswrapper as a command, not knowing that it WAS NOT installed with Feist, it says:

The program 'ndiswrapper' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common'


But when you type the above command, you get:

kate at Rinukusu:~$ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-common

Just a minor issue that creates headaches for new Ubuntu users. (I.E.
myself.)

** Affects: ndiswrapper (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
