Ndiswrapper error: No rule to make target `WLAN/ndiswrapper
Hello all,
I am trying currently to get Ndiswrapper working in order to use my wireless internet usb key. Unfortunately, I have encountered some technical difficulties when I compile it. (Also, I am new to linux) After following the INSTALL instructions for the ndiswrapper-1.53 software, I obtain the following error: Code:
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.53]# make I have googled this error and although I find some mention of it, I have yet to find a solution that I can apply. Linux distro: RHEL 5.1 Wireless USB key: Dlink DWL-G122 rev A2 Any help will be appreciated -Roger |
try doing a ./configure. Looks like the error is saying that you don't have a make file so it does not know how to create the binary. Also your wireless adapter should have a native linux module that you can compile. I will look into that for you.

I believe that your card should use the ralink chipset. This can be downloaded from serialmonkey or http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Hom...ort/Linux.html if you typeing
Code:

ndiswrapper error fixed
Thank you for your replies.
Actually the problem with the ndiswrapper compiling was that there a space in folder name. Hence, a command (in the makefile I suppose) was broken in 2. Once the space removed, ndiswrapper compiled just fine. Quote:
According to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ha...CardsDlink#USB It seems that the Dlink DWL-G122 rev A2 usb key requires a prism driver or ndiswrapper - ralink drivers are not mentioned to function for A2. Rev B1, C1 require a ralink driver. Rev D1 requires a marvel chipset driver or ndiswrapper. I have not yet installed my wireless drivers with ndiswrapper as I just wanted to reply first to this post. If anyone knows of a native linux driver that works with Dlink DWL-G122 rev A2, I will appreciate the info as I would prefer a linux driver instead ndiswrapper. By the way Code:
[root@localhost ~]# lsusb P.S I have my motorola cell phone connected to my computer (via usb) for charging purposes, that is why it is listed in the "lsusb" output. -Roger |
It looks as though 2001:3704 D-Link Corp. [hex] DWL-G122 802.11g rev. A2 was working as long ago as Aug 2006, (using ndiswrapper). There doesn't seem to be a native linux driver.
