ndiswrapper on ubuntu


hi

i installed ndiswrapper from source.
then i tried to install the windows driver for the wireless card.
ndiswrapper installed the inf ans sys files, but when i do ndsiwrapper -l, it says incorrect driver!

i am 100% sure that these are the correct drivers, because i have used these drivers on a debian system and everything worked smoothly.

this is dmesg output when i plug the card out and in:
[4297149.183000] eth1: hot unplug detected
[4297149.183000] eth1: removing device
[4297149.230000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled

hope anyone can help me.

grtz

i still needed firmware for my wireless card.
i've put that firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware

but now i have anoher question.
when i reboot my laptop the card's firmware is not loaded (led is not blinking), but when i do dhclient the firmware is loaded and the led is blinking.
