dkms-ndiswrapper and CentOs 5.3
 

I'm trying to get my Netgear WG311v3 card to work with Centos 5.3
I have installed dkms-ndiswrapper but cant setup the card via Network Manager or the terminal. Running the command "modprobe ndiswrapper" gives me an error.
Command: ndiswrapper - l shows that the driver is installed.

I also installed the ndiswrapper GUI for windows drivers and it shows the driver is installed also. Running the command wlan0 shows nothing either.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and I got the card working in about 2 min flat. I need to continue running CentOs native vice in a VM. Any help would be appreciated.

Give us the error that you got with command modprobe.

Here is a page of "How To s"

When I run "modprobe ndiswrapper" I get:
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found

ndiswrapper -l
wg3v11v3:driver installed
device (11AB:1FAA) present

I fixed it!

I use the ELRepo repository after completing the second step my card was detected by Network Manager-and bang I'm online. I wish I would have done this last week. Now I'm off to browse the net.

Happy that you found the solution.
