I think you may need the linux-headers??
try Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10 (enter your version of linux headers or usr the synaptic package manager) EDIT. even better, install ndiswrapper as such Code:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils |
from where do i install the headers as mentioned above..and cud u please explain me the meaning of this
Quote:
and do u mean i have to open the terminal and copy paste the code ?? if yes then in which directory??? |
Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer.
Ubuntu already has ndiswrapper in its repositories, so you don't need to install it from source. just run (in any folder, it doesn't matter) Code:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils Now you can continue with "Install Windows driver", from the link I posted earlier. |
my system got messed up .. {i tried to do some things which in hindsight i shud not have done ;-) }
so i have now completely reinstalled UBUNTU EDGY... after the complete reinstall,i have done only these .. 1> installed the ndiswrapper using the command Code:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils Code:
ndiswrapper -i netslnt.inf 3> now this Code:
ndiswrapper -l Code:
Installed ndis drivers: Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper Code:
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument |
please note that i have not even touched the drivers given by the manufacturer ...
and to be slightly more clear, here is the complete log of what transpired on my terminal... { just a copy paste work } Code:
ashwin@ashwin:~$ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils |
I'm going to take a stab here and say that the version of ndiswrapper wasn't compiled against the kernel that you have. I don't use Ubuntu but there must be some way to investigate whether that version of ndiswrapper is compiled against the same kernel source for the kernel you're running. Damn dependencies... :( Once that's straightened out then you shouldn't have any problems.
Also, ndiswrapper -m should take care of adding the alias to /etc/modprobe.conf for you. You shouldn't have to edit that unless ndiswrapper -m fails. EDIT: I did a little poking around and I found this at ubuntuguide.org. Check that out a little bit. I guess there's some bug with Edgy that was fixed with ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 so you have to specify the 1.8 when you apt-get so you get the right one. Good luck! |
