Ndiswrapper

zupertj · 10-20-2005, 07:09 AM

I am still trying to install my wireless PCMCIA card level one wpc-0200 on my labtop thinkpad 600 whit suse 10.

I am trying whit Ndiswrapper-1.4.

When i extract the .tar file and goes in to the extracted map and opens it in a terninal i type first: "make distclean". When: "make". and last i type: "make install" to install Ndiswrapper

But then i type "make" it is trying to find the kernel source and it cant.
So it gives an error. It is the same then i type : "make install"

How can i install ndiswrapper then?

I am assuming you are using SuSE since you are in this forum:

http://www.novell.com/products/linux...iswrapper.html

Just use the RPM, instead of doing a manual install, let YAST do the work for you. That link is for 1.2.2 which comes on the install media, but you should be able to upgrade, or use a tertiary server with a more up recent rpm.

Yes of course I am using Suse

Do you have a direct link? i cant find other files for Ndis than the tar.gz file..

I found it but now i cant find the source directory for ndiswrapper. Does anyone know where it is when it is installed whit YaST?

I have better than that. Just open Yast > Software Management and search for ndis, it will find it, you can install it, no issues. That finds 1.2.2.

RPMseek finds: http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/ndiswrappe...per:PN:0:0:0:0 which shows a 1.1-4 version for 9.3...

RPMpbone... http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 shows the same...

Checking around I don't see any rpms for 10 at all, save for that 1.2.2, so maybe there is a compatibility thing? I don't really know.

Okay now i have a new problem..

In the konsole i type "ndoswrapper -i /home/user/documents/driver/tiacxln.inf"
Thats the driver for my wireless card to windows xp. But ndiswrapper finds the driver invalid..
