DISCUSSION: Guide to NdisWrapper for MN-720 MN-730 Microsoft Wireless Cards in
 

This thread is to discuss the article titled: Guide to NdisWrapper for MN-720 MN-730 Microsoft Wireless Cards in SusE 9.x

Following along for Fedora 3, problems
 

Hopefully i can find some help on this.

i've seen a couple discussions on installing MN-730 wireless cards. This one was geared to SuSE, another for FC3. The other thread dead ended with the instruction "Type: dhcpcd eth0" after doing the modprobe.

i got an error that the command doesn't exist. So i came to this thread, which instead uses iwconfig after modprobe.

This is still my roadblock, as i am told that the hardware doesn't exist.

As mentioned in the article, i am suffering from an onboard ethernet chip that Fedora wants to use. i've deleted its profile from my list of network hardware. Now i'm not sure where to pick up. Do i start over? i've added these lines to modprobe.conf:

Like i said, i didn't have any difficulty until after "modprobe ndiswrapper".

The original tutorial i was following is here

Can anyone help? i'm an absolute newbie here, so be gentle. Thanks

I am having some serious trouble with ndiswrapper and modprobe on Fedora Core4. I installed ndiswrapper1.2 using yum-extend.

# ndiswrapper -l
bash: ndiswrapper: command not found

Figured that one...
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
mn720-ankh driver present, hardware present

Then it was...
# modprobe ndiswrapper
bash: modprobe: command not found
# /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

Somewhere it said it is looking for the .ko file. That's in
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/misc/ndiswrapper.ko

But, this went through fine.
# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
mn720-ankh driver present, hardware present

Does anyone know what's going on with "modprobe ndsiwrapper" command?

From Desktop/System Setting/Network I have the Network Configuration screen and I have in Tab:Hardware wlan0 with status configured. I did try to setup from there but there's more errors.

I guess I need to get "modprobe ndiswrapper" working. Could anyone please tell me what to do?

Somewhere it said it is looking for the .ko file. That's in
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/misc/ndiswrapper.ko

Oh wait... I am using Kernel 2.6.12.1390_FC4. Is that why?

Hello im running suse9.1 pro and i am trying to set up my wireless card following the instructions,but when i get to step 8.
Step 8: type in "ndiswrapper -l" This will display your installed "wrapped" Microsoft drivers.
i get error telling me "motorola_wn825_wpci810_6.0.3.exe" is an invalid driver.can any one tell me why it is invalid
because when i type "ndiswrapper -i motorola_wn825_wpci810_6.0.3.exe" i am told it is allready installed any ideas what i can do
Thanks nige
