This is how I got ndiswrapper to work with my wifi card: Using the Synaptic Package Manager, download from the Universe the following packages: 1. fakeroot, build-essentials, linux-headers-2.6 2. Download ndiswrapper from ndiswrapper.sf.net (file name ndiswrapper-1.0.tar.gz) 3. As ROOT (sudo -s, or open a ROOT terminal window and copy ndiswrapper-1.0.tar.gz to the /usr/src folder 4. On the command line of the terminal window type tar zxvf ndiswrapper-1.0.tar.gz 5. Change to the new ndiswrapper directory by typing cd /ndiswrapper-1.0 6. Type make deb and the installation of ndiswrapper is automatic 7. Type dpkg -i ndiswrapper* to set ndiswrapper Now that ndiswrapper is all set, proceed to install the driver. At ndiswrapper.nf.net you can find the drivers for your specific wireless card. The driver is a standard Windows XP .inf file. 8. Once the driver is copied to a convenient location, type ndiswrapper -i filename.inf 9. Type ndiswrapper -l to verify the status of the installed driver. You should see something like: Installed ndis drivers drivername driver present, hardware present 10. To load the module type modprobe ndiswrapper 11. If no errors were generated, you should see the transmit light on your card flash. 12. If you dmesg, you should see something like: wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device xx:xx:xx:xxxx:xx Once everything works fine you can write the correct modprobe settings to load ndiswrapper automatically when wlan0 interface is used, by running 13. type ndiswrapper -m Note that this doesn't automatically load ndiswrapper module at boot time. If you want the module to be loaded automatically at boot time, you should configure your module setup, which depends on the distrbution. Most distributions will load all modules listed in /etc/modules at boot time. For them, you can add the line ndiswrapper in the /etc/modules directory. > > From: michael <<A HREF="mailto:michael@aioc.net">michael@aioc.net</A>> > Date: 2005/05/25 Wed PM 12:22:24 EDT > To: Ubuntu tech know how <<A HREF="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</A>> > Subject: wifi card installation help > > I have just loaded ubuntu and still am a new bee to linux. > i want my wifi card to work..have read some docs ...but!@#$!@# > please can somebody help...installed ndiswrapper..ect..but still not > working.. > please help > > Jose Merced Pepperell, MA 1985 FJ-60 Yankee Toys, TLCA, NEA4WD Delegate </PRE> <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" BORDER="1"> <TR> <TD> plain text document attachment (reply) </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
