ndiswrapper 1.12 for 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 - Install issues
 

I am have trouble installing ndiswrapper 1.12. I am using distro FC4 and my kernel is 2.6.11-1.1369. I read an article stating to have the "appropiate kernel sources installed", although I am unsure what that is.

When I type in make here is what I get:

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.12]# make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/apps/ndiswrapper-1.12/driver'

Thanks -- any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mentioned it as your issue. Does this directory exist usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686?
If not you need to install the kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686.rpm. Should be where you got the kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686.rpm

Yea that directory exists. Could I have the kernel installed but not the kernel-devel part? Thanks.

Thats got me confused. Is the ndiswrapper extracted on a linux type formatted partition?
I would contact the ndiswrapper team on this they should be able to help. Just make sure you tell them everthing about your system and hardware for faster help.
