ubuntu edgy: "modprobe ndiswrapper" give a page of errors, but card is supported

tiddy · 02-12-2007, 08:17 AM

Hi all,
I have a Netgear WG111T USB wireless card, with Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy. I have the latest ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 and ndiswrapper-common deb packages (after navigating the apt servers manually from windows) they are at:http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...untu2_i386.deb and http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...buntu2_all.deb I install them both (ndiswrapper-common first) and load the drivers by doing

Code:

sudo ndiswrapper -i /media/dvdrecorder/ndis5/athfmwdl.inf

and then

Code:

sudo ndiswrapper -i /media/dvdrecorder/ndis5/netwg11t.inf

-- it does need both drivers, I did it before on openSUSE 10.0.
Then ndiswrapper -l to make sure they work and they are there, but when I do modprobe ndiswrapper it gives:

Code:

joe@joe-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

I was looking through a guide that I used when I used to use SUSE and it said something about insserv, what is this command and will it help me?

tiddy · 02-17-2007, 08:24 AM

Is anyone going to reply to this or should I give up hope.
