Post subject:  Using ndiswrapper for wireless support

Hi,

I am trying to install my US-Robotics PCI card, but haven't had much success. I tried to use the debian package mentioned on the ndiswrapper page (dpkg -i ndis*.deb), but
'modprobe ndiswrapper' complains "can't load module ndiswrapper"

Second, i tried to download and install sources (0.8),
but 'make install' gives me a lot of header file errors I don't know how to fix.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

TIA,
Michael

Post subject:  One step further

After unpacking the kernel sources, the make install option from the sources seem to work. Only after completing the install, modprobe procedure, I still don't have a wlan0 (iwconfig only shows "lo no wireless support).

I think I am going to check the procedure described below:

Comments, ideas welcome.

TIA,
Michael

did you create an alias wlan0 line? otherwise the module will not know it is supposed to be wlan0.

-edit-
ok I just read your link, and the first thing he tells you to do is wrong for knoppmyth. modprobe.conf is for 2.6 kernels. for knoppmyth you should create a file in /etc/modutils and add those two lines into it then run update-modules. You may want to check that it worked by looking in /etc/modules.conf and making sure the lines are in there.

Thanx,

The problem now seems to be that I get a message about a method not implemented.

I'll try the ndiswrapper forum now :-)

I tried a d-link driver for the same chipset, but finally got it working with a TNET1130 driver as specified in this thread.

Thanx for the help.
