tried your link, ndiswrapper not found. i have no cd this is a downloaded version
|
Here are the links for ndiswrapper:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mis...wrapper-common http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mis...pper-utils-1.9 http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/net/ndisgtk You should find them through synaptic, have you enabled multiverse and universe repositories? |
hi Forgive my ignorance.
on my laptop with ubuntu i am unable to access the internet. i am doing so on my desktop pc. and as stated on my first post i am a newbie with ubuntu and am lost as to how install/download these packages. please explain the following (You should find them through synaptic, have you enabled multiverse and universe repositories?) once again sorry for my ignorance Bentenmen |
Ok,can you plug in a network cable in your laptop? Or, download the files through your desktop pc and then copy them to a USB pen drive or maybe burn a CD?
Btw, did you get a CD with drivers for your wireless USB? |
i can download through my desk top and yes i have a cd for the usb wireless adapter
