no clue what to do

I had sooooo many problems with ndiswrapper on my Debian laptop. I could not, for the life of me, install it and make it work. In the end, I downloaded a SUSE rpm and used alien to convert it to a deb file. I did dpkg - newdebfile and ndiswrapper worked a treat. I don't know how much sense this will make to you but I am happy to guide you through what I did to see if it works for you.

There's a newer (prerelease) version of 1.2 available here, maybe give that a shot? Or see the unoffical Ubuntu guide to add more repositories for apt-get.

You need to install your kernel sources to be able to compile ndiswrapper. Hope it helps.

dude...had the same problem..went to this link and was up and running in 20 minutes... the best walkthrough ive ever seen.

duplicate post. need sleeeep...

i'm going to try the guide :D...but it says before you start delete all ndiswrapper stuff, how do i do that :/ just remove all dir's with ndiswrapper in it using findfile?

that's what i mean, i am a complete newb so i don't know right now, like to learn though :D
0. Before you start, clear out any mess from existing failed attempts to use ndiswrapper.
just delete dirs containing ndiswrapper?

okay, i got the bcmwl5 drive installed and everything, but i can add a wlan0, i try to do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and get this error,
