Disregard the reference to the wiki, you have all the instructions you need contained in the INSTALL file.
You need to have your
kernel-source that matches your current running kernel added to your system. This should be available on the dvd from which you installed your system.
To find the correct version to install, open a terminal and type:
uname -r this will display your current kernel version. e.g. for my system i get this:
Reply:
2.6.27.19-desktop-1mnb <-- This is my current kernel version.
You need to find and install the
kernel-source from the dvd that matches your displayed version. Use the package manager to find and install the required kernel-source files.
You can use the command:
ls /lib/modules/(insert the name revealed by doing the above uname -r here)/build to confirm there is a link to your modules directory. You should see an output similar to this:
Code:
ls /lib/modules/2.6.27.19-desktop-1mnb/build
Reply:
/lib/modules/2.6.27.19-desktop-1mnb/build@
Once you have the confirmation follow the instructions from this point onward:
Quote:
make uninstall
make
Login as root and run
make install
|
The above needs to be done from the commandline and from within the ndiswrapper directory. To change to the directory to:
cd Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.54
It all looks a bit daunting, just follow these instructions step by step and you should be fine.
