Hey, Ive got slackware 10.1 and I installed ndiswrapper without a hitch, but when I say "ndiswrapper -i (Directory" it installs my driver, but when ndiswrapper -l is typed. It says "Invalid driver" I looked in the /etc/ndiswrapper folder and everything is there...but no internet or "valid" adapter.
I have a USB MN510 adapter...thanks for the help.
BTW Slack sees my adapter under the USB devices list.

Hmmm... you ran "ndiswrapper -i (Directory)" but what you must do is run "ndiswrapper -i inf_file"
The ndiswrapper will happily "install" everything you supply as a paramer, but if it is not the .INF file you use as a parameter (which should be in the same directory as the .SYS file). you will see "invalid driver" when you ask for a list of installed drivers (ndiswrapper -l).
