Please anyone help me!
I followed a guide :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNd...ndiswrapper%29
It said It says : Call "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to install the needed module.
PLease could someone help me
I currently have done all the steps up till modprobe which doesnt work.
Launch synaptic or whatever package management tool you prefer
Install the package "ndiswrapper-utils"
Call "sudo ndiswrapper -i foobar.inf" where foobar.inf is the path to your inf-file (windows wireless-lan driver).
Call "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to install the needed module.
Now you can set up your working Wlan device under Desktop->Administration->Networking
Dont forget to type "ndiswrapper -m" if you want to load it at startup automatically
Use the Networking tool to configure networking on the new interface, or edit /etc/network/interfaces by hand to your liking.
