wireless set-up ndiswrapper D-Link wua1340


Wireless set-up help requested – Ndiswrapper

I am a Newbee have been struggling last few weeks to set up my wi-fi on my desktop Damn Small Linux

I have been assisted on the DSL forum to a point and have read, tried many tutorials, HOWTOs but now I am truly stuck

In summary, I located the windows drivers for the D-Link Wua 1340 and ran the ndiswrapper with it – received message “driver installed, hardware present” :-)

ndiswrapper –m yielded “modeprobe config already contains alias directive”

But modprobe ndiswrapper yielded

ndiswrapper (import: 241): unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe : ‘ZwWriteFile’
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files: 213) : couldn’t prepare driver ‘dr71wu’
ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver: 132) : couldn’t load driver ‘dr71wu’

This may well be due to my earlier attempts to install

Beyond this I am unable to proceed :-(

Can anyone throw some light on how I should proceed, short of reinstalling DSL

Thanx

FJK

You are going to need to stay with one of your previous threads and try and answer some to their questions and wait for responses. In your one thread a poster asked you to run the command 'lsusb' and paste the results. I could not find that post. You apparently do not have the right driver for your card installed. First you do not need any exe. files for ndiswrapper.
