Ndiswrapper, fedora fc6


Hello!

When I run ndiswrapper -l i get this error;

[root@dhcppc0 thor]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
couldn't run modprobe: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 835.

Anyone who knows how to fix this?


However when i run /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper it doesn't reutrn any error, actually it doesn't return anything..


I quite new to both fedora and ndiswrapper, so please help me.


Thanks for all help!

How did you switch to root? Did you use "su" or "su -"? If you used "su" on its own, then you won't inherit all of roots path and hence won't be able to run some sysadmin commands.

From one problem to another..

Now it seems to work, I get this output instead;
[root@dhcppc0 ~]# ndiswrapper -l
installed drivers: bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware (14E4:4324) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

But then however it's something else wrong.

Ifconfig outputs:
[root@dhcppc0 ~]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:9F:98:8F:E8
inet addr:192.168.1.36 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:2854612 (2.7 MiB) TX bytes:2854612 (2.7 MiB)

And Iwconfig:
[root@dhcppc0 ~]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.


When I start the computer this comes up:
Device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.


My modeprobe.conf is as follows;
alias eth1 ndiswrapper
alias eth0 8139too
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0


And bcm43xx is blacklisted..


Anyone thats know what I'm doing wrong?


Thanks for your answer..
