Ndiswrapper help
I'm trying to use my Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN mini Card on my Inspiron E1705 using Kantoix RC4. So I installed the .inf file using ndiswrapper.
When I type in ndiswrapper -l it gives me this list Installed drivers: 2802w driver installed bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware present fwlan driver installed but when I type in ndiswrapper -m it gives me this module configuration contains directive install pci:v00001260d00003890sv00001113sd00008301bc*sc*i* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper ;you should delete thatmodule configuration contains directive install pci:v00001260d00003890sv00001113sd0000EE03bc*sc*i* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper ;you should delete thatmodule configuration contains directive install usb:v057Cp5601d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper ;you should delete thatmodule configuration contains directive install usb:v057Cp6201d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper ;you should delete thatmodprobe config already contains alias directive and when I run modprobe ndiswrapper it doesn't show my wlan0 when I type in iwconfig also when I enter dmesg it says this in the ndiswrapper part ndiswrapper version 1.23 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=yes) ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:155): kernel is 32-bit, but Windows driver is not 32-bit;bad magic: 020B ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:214): couldn't prepare driver 'bcmwl5' ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver:113): loadndiswrapper failed (65280); check system log for messages from 'loadndisdriver' usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper Can anyone help me get this card working so that when I boot up my machine it connects to my network or atleast get my card working at all? |

Code:
ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:155): kernel is 32-bit, but Windows driver is not 32-bit;bad magic: 020B Good luck |
ndiswrapper help
can you tell me some other things?
what is the name for your NDIS driver in windows? what is the chipset in your wireless card? is your wireless working with Kanotix without ndiswrapper? (Stupid question possibly, BUT I found Kanotix was the only distro to work with my wireless Netgear PCMCIA card de novo). You should also run dmesg and look for any other loaded wireless modules. You may need to get rid of other kernel modules and do some blacklisting to get a result. Although the various ndiswrapper drivers don't conflict to my knowledge, but I get rid of all the others (MEPIS has about 8 of them!) and just keep the correct one. lets know what happened. it is useful for other Googling Dell users to find your final HOWTO documented. |
