Modprobe Ndiswrapper Error
Hi, I am using Slackware 10.2 on my Dell Inspiron E1405 with a the Dell 1390 Mini Wireless Card 802.11 b/g. The driver for that is the bcmw15. I am having troubles with ndiswrapper (version 1.14) when I run:
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper Code:
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15.3/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Unkown symbol in modules, or unkown parameter (see dmesg) Code:
b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. Code:

Hey jonnygraw
Welcome to LQ! Check out this little Slackware ndiswrapper tutorial. I think it will help you see what's required in Slack. |
Hey, thanks for the reply! The link gave me some very valuable information about the gcc and kernel issues. I got ndiswrapper to work--finally--using the testing 2.6.13 kernel and ndiswrapper-1.15. I had to downgrade to gcc-3.3 so there wouldn't be any issues with the kernel.
Note to anyone using the bcmw15 driver: If you get a forced parameter during: Code:
ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf Also, be sure to turn your wireless card on....that was a probelm for me :p The only thing I need to do is make ndiswrapper load during boot time. I added it to modprobe.conf and modules.conf but it still wouldn't load. Any suggestions? |
if you need commands to run at boot, add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or maybe a rc.inet script.
