ndiswrapper problems.

ipodlinux · 04-05-2006, 11:18 PM

everytime i run modprobe ndiswrapper as root in Terminal i get something like

FATAL: module ndiswrapper not found

or something like that.

my wireless internet/ndiswrapper was working before i upgraded(not clean install) of from fedora core 4 to fC5.... it no longer worked so i ran

ndiswrapper uninstall

a few times...so now i can't even compile it...make doesn't work
make all install doesn't work
make install doesn't work.
im really wondering how to compile and use it now.

It sounds to me that your C/C++ compiler and/or its libraries got messed-up during the upgrade. Try uninstalling and reinstalling them.

I suspect that the reason why you got the "module not found" error is because you upgraded your kernel. The ndiswrapper module must be compiled for each kernel version. Once you can get it to compile, you'll probably have smooth sailing. :-)

Also, make sure that you have the kernel's source installed so that it can link, etc. to it properly (or whatever it needs it for).

By "it," do you mean that you downloaded the new kernel source, the new C/C++ libraries/compilers, ndiswrapper...?

Please be more specific.
