Ndiswrapper in Fedora Core 5 Quote:

Ok I made one mistake. On Step 5, you need to run:
make install KSRC=/usr/bin/kernels/(your kernel directory here) You have to make sure and add the kernel directory after /kernels. It will not work if you dont. The idea is that you are telling ndiswrapper where to look for your kernels sources, so be sure to tell it the right directory, as it is likely that there are multiple ones. To find out which kernel you are using, type uname -r. |
what if you do not have a kernel directory under /usr/bin

OK what do you do if the kernel is not in /usr/bin or /usr/src? :newbie:
I swear if I get wireless on my linux partition on my laptop, I'll learn linux. |
Quote:
Then you need to replace the /usr/bin or /usr/src part with the part where your kernel sources are. For instance, my kernel sources are in /usr/bin/kernels/[kernel name]. Unless you moved the kernel sources to another directory, or manually installed them somewhere else, this is where they should be. What happens when you try to enter the folder I mentioned, does it give you an error, or are you sure that you kernel sources are not installed there? |
Hi there,
Thanks. Finally a great step-by-step tuturial, after testing and trying others tips on the web. I failed as exactly forseen as described in the item 2. I use out of box Fedora Core 5, download from fedora/redhat the kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 (rpm kerenl-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 installed) Ndiswrapper-1.12 : make rpm or make install seem fine after correcting/linking the kernel source path, but it fails at 'modprobe' Thanks for any idea for any more things i can do to correct it. Cheers "2. It says I have an "invaid module format" when I type modprobe ndiswrapper Solution: You do not have the proper kernel-devel file installed for the kernel that you are using. Type uname -r to get your kernel version and go to people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel and download the corresponding kernel-devel file and install it. " |
bcmwl5a.inf
I'm having trouble installing the driver.
ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5a(with or without extension) says: couldn't copy bcmwl5a at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 139. |
I was having the same problem but discovered why it wasn't working.
My ndiswrapper directory for now is: /temp/ndiswrapper-1.11 The directory for the drivers is : /ndis /ndis is where I placed bcmwl5a.inf, bcmwl5.inf, etc. To install the drivers, make sure you tell ndiswrapper where the drivers are located. So what I used is the following: ndiswrapper -i /ndis/bcmwl5.inf Make sure when you attempt to install the drivers that you tell ndiswrapper the directory of where the drivers are at. You can put the drivers in your ndiswrapper-1.11(or whatever version you are using)directory, just be sure to tell ndiswrapper that they are there. Ex: ndiswrapper -i /ndiswrapper-1.11/bcmwl5.inf After you install them, make sure that they are installed with the ndiswrapper -l command. That is a lower case l, not the number one. Hope you have success. Freestone |
Hi,
I've having truouble getting this to work. I've installed the latest kernel and kernel-devel, but when I run the make install KSRC.... I get the below error: Code:
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.12]# make install KSRC=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2084_FC5-i686 Thanks Matt |

sry double post

Are they installed?
rpm -q kernel-devel |
macoklein, try updating the database with 'updatedb', then try 'locate (kernel name here)'
Get your kernel name with 'uname -r'. Look for entries that refer to directories. |
ndiswrapper is supposed to be available via yum, so are the kernel and kernel-devel packages in the howto.

Fedora 5 - ndiswrapper - Belkin Pre-N Wireless Card
OK. So I did not heed the age old saying "leave well enough alone".
I installed FC5 like 6 weeks ago and after a few days of learning all about linux and ndiswrapper I was able to get WiFi working. The problem was that I also wanted to run Oracle 10g AS on this box and at least at the time it was not supported. Technically it's still not supported but I did find an article or two written by known Oracle gurus that have claimed successful installations on FC5 although I have yet to replicate it. Anyhow, much to my dismay I decided to downgrade to FC4 only to find that I was not able to get Wifi working so I upgraded back to FC5 and now it's been like 2 weeks and I can't for the life of me figure out what I did to get it to work the first time around. I know that most of my setup is correct. I am using a Belkin Pre-n Wireless card in my Dell Dimension 4700 SMP computer. I have the latest kernel installed (and yes I even tried formatting my hard drive and using the kernel that I first used to successfully get wifi working 6 weeks ago and that did not work either) which is currently version 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.stk16smp. I recently patched the 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5smp version to incorporate the 16k stack (even though I was able to use the 4k one in my successful attempt several weeks ago b/c after so many failed attempts I figured it couldn't hurt). So this is where I stand now: 1. Installed Fedora Core 5 2. Updated all packages, kernel etc. so I am running 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.stk16smp 3. Downloaded and installed kernel-smp-devel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.stk16.i686.rpm 4. Installed latest version of ndiswrapper using the src files from the package noted above and got no errors during compilation/installation 5. Installed Windows "inf" driver (made sure to use the Netgear one instead of the Belkin one located on the CD just like I did the first time around when I successfully got WiFi to work). 6. Ran all the necessary commands (i.e. ndiswrapper -i /u01/wifi_drivers/NetAni.inf, ndiswrapper -l, ndiswrapper -m etc.) 7. Added necessary alias entry to etc/modprobe.conf file (i.e. alias wlan0 Belkin) 8. Added pci=assign-busses as new parameter to grub.conf 9. Ran command "iwconfig wlan0 essid gonzo" and witnessed that the device had bound itself to my AP (it had the MAC address for my Wifi router) and it also had the correct SSID name which is "gonzo". 10. Checked to make sure I could actually "see" Access Points by running iwlist wlan0 scan and it returned 4 nearby AP so I know the card is technically "working". This is where the problem occurs: 11. I either run "dhclient wlan0" or I click on my Wifi card in the Network section under "System => Configuration => Network" and click "Activate" and it never gets an IP address from the router. I have the correct channel set (my router is using 11) and I tried using both "managed" and "auto" for the wifi card configuration type. So as you can see I have become somewhat of an "expert" on this subject. The REALLY irritating thing was that although configuring WiFi on FC5 was no picnic the first time around (it did take me like 2 days) it's absolutely driving me UP THE FREAKING WALL now that I can't figure it out the second, third, fourth etc. time around. I basically need another set of eyes. The thing I don't get is that when I check my router's log it shows that this wifi card has made multiple "successful" connection attempts. The problem is it never actually assigns it an IP. I even have encryption disabled for the time being just to avoid any issues that could complicate communication between the router and the NIC card. If there is anyone out there that could help me figure out what the heck I am doing wrong I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks in advance. |
If you've done all this on a completely fresh FC5 install, then the problem is probably not on the FC5 machine - maybe on the router.
There's a wee niggle in the back of my minds saying that your card's mac address (or whatever) is recorded against the previous time it was able to connect - so the router won't accept this "new" client claiming to be the old card ... or something. This is clumsily explained - there is a particular word for what I want but it escapes me right now. But sometimes some data gets cached somewhere and you need to change the details (or empty to cache) or there will be conflicts. Anyway - I'd hunt through all the stuff the router stores about it's sessions and look for anything to do with your card - and reset it. (Or reset the whole router?) Of course, if the FC4-5 step was one of Anaconda's "upgrades" ... this is probably your problem. It has kept whatever didn't work in FC4 ... possibly a kernel configuration (though I see iwtools is installed). In which case, the simplest workaround is to reinstall. You had it working from a virgin install that the router had never seen. Restore these conditions and the system will work. |
On another point: I take it you had a howto for FC4 - which is the reason for the downgrade?
In general, howto's can be intellegently applied to the next release up anyway. There is a small matter of reading through the entire howto carefully and comparing with the release notes (and/or changelog) to make sure that things you are told to install are not present by default. rpm -q is good for this too. And the lesson: do your experimenting on another machine. (You could run another nix in a dual boot or Xen (VM) and do your experimenting there - you can then port successful results to your more "mission-critical" machine) |

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? |
the cli tool is called iwconfig - (wireless eqiv for ifconfig) have a look what it says... should be a clue.
I'm not clear on what you've done... you installed ndiswrapper et al as per the fedorafaq? You installed the network device via the internet configuration wizard? |

Hi everyone
I' using RHEL 4 in my compaq nx9010 with Broadcom wireless card and kernel 2.6.9. I've followed the installation steps until step no. 8. According to the list in ndiswrapper( listed in B, no. 42), nx9010 uses driver bcmwl5.inf. I've managed to get the driver after following the steps given in the ndiswrapper list. I tried: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf but it says invalid driver. So, i tried with bcmwl5a.inf. Also invalid driver. I am using the correct driver and I am sure because my wireless card works fine in Windows XP. I tried unintall ndiswrapper and reinstall it. But, i still got the same problem of invalid driver. One more thing, when I reinstall, I realised that I've also gotten the 4K size stack warning..... Could anyone help me with this? Please..... |
What's wrong? You have no gcc (compiler) installed, so you cannot compile ndiswrapper kernel module.
But in fact it's not necessary: type as root "yum install ndiswrapper kmod-ndiswrapper" and skip all compilation-installation steps. It works for me (on FC5). Good luck! :) |
I've managed to solve the problems already. What i did was instead of only copying the *.inf file, i also copied the *.sys file and another bin file into the ndiswrapper directory. Then, all my problem has been solved. My driver is now present and working fine.
|
Ok, I've been following the steps that have been posted, and it all goes well, until i get to step 7: ndiswrapper-l, i get the error message bash: ndiswrapper: command not found I'm total linux newb, and would love to know what I've done wrong
hope to hear something soon Dante__182 |

I have a Dell e1705 with a wireless 1390 mini-card and am running 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp with a matching kernel devel package (via yum). I'll be very grateful if you can shed light on: 1. Why iwconfig settings seem missing? 2. If I go to Network Configuration, only eth0 shows up as net device. wlan0 does show up in Hardware pane with status 'configured'. Why? TIA, Kwei |
ndiswrapper: command not found
Quote:
In general, you can use 'find' command on Linux to find things. Kwei |
Dante,
Before you run the ndiswrapper -l command make sure you do su -c 'bash -l' (this will log the shell so that you can run the aforementioned command). And Kwei - I have stored my configurations commands in the /etc/rc.local and they run everytime I start my box, I also included intermitent pauses such as: ping -c3 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null between my commands so that it will run more stable and wont crash. If you wish to not have Eth0 start upon boot you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and set the following value ONBOOT=no |

Thanks for the tips. I ended up creating a wireless device named wlan0 via System/Admin/Network (GUI), where I entered the wireless settings, and then add the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: ifup wlan0 The wireless connection now goes up at boot time. I might try your trick of inserting pauses if it starts crashing. thx again. I'm gonna fix display resolution and sound next. Kwei |

Hi.
My kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1 Kernel ver 2054 was autoupdated on internet (using cable connection for eth0) while installing ndiswrapper 1.13 using yum command. The driver used is bcmwl5.inf from c:\windows\drivers directory. 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1 I hope this may be helpful. RKGarg |
Hello everyone,
Before trying to use this ndiswrapper hack that taints your kernel, have some considered trying this: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ Which is a true linux driver that is being heavily maintained and waiting for feedback from users with newer laptop models. There is a compatibility list but more hardware is supported. This driver is stable enough so that it is integrated in 2.6.17 kernel. Worth trying!? If it really doesn't work, then go with ndiswrapper. :twocents: |
don't use KSRC... The new version I got, I have to use KBUILD.

dear all,
i have a similar problem as matt's. i've installed fedora core 5 with kernel version 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and went on to install the latest kernel, viz 2.6.16-1.2129_FC5-i686 together with its devel file, like kayoss717 suggested. trouble in step 5, as he's confused between the two kernels: [grunberg@dhcppc2 ndiswrapper-1.17]$ make install KSRC=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2129_FC5-i686 make -C driver install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/grunberg/Ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.17/driver'Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build; give the path to kernel build directory with KBUILD=<path> argument to make make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/grunberg/Ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.17/driver' make: *** [install] Error 2 he's still using the old kernel despite rebooting, as i see from uname -r. how can i solve this ? thanks, dan |
well, linuxnewbie1972 was right to point out that one should use KBUILD instaed of KSRC.
however, my problem somewhat persists: after several succesfull steps of make install KBUILD=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2129_FC5-i686 i face the following error, suggesting he's still confused between the two kernels: thanks for any help, dan make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2129_FC5-i686' *** WARNING: Kernel is compiled with 4K stack size option (CONFIG_4KSTACKS); many Windows drivers will not work with this option enabled.

Hi Guys,
I have been able to follow this post up until now. I have installed the correct kernel source and devel rpms. I then installed ndiswrapper and all went well. I was able to install the driver and when I type ndiswrapper -l I can see that it is installed and the hardware is present. When I move on to the next step which is modprobe ndiswrapper I get the following error: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format. I know that this means I have the wrong kernel-devel installed but I double checked and it is the correct one. What do I do to fix this? Thanks |
Hi.
I had installed ndiswrapper and bcmwl5 driver for my laptop HP nx 9010. I am giving sequence here. Original kernel ver was 2054_FC5. I straightway followed these steps which have been updated and correct. (1) Update kernel to 2.6.16-1.2129_FC5.i586 with sources by downloading following three files. (i) kernel-2.6.16-1.2129_FC5.i586.rpm (ii) kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2129_FC5.i586.rpm (iii) kernel-2.6.16-1.2129_FC5.src.rpm Make a directory as (i) mkdir /usr/src/redhat/ (ii) mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES Install all as rpm -i *.rpm --aid --force (2) After installation boot the system in new kernel version that is 2.6.16-1.2129 (3) Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ and download ndiswrapper-1.16.tar.gz file. Extract it to /tmp/ndiswrapper-1.16 folder and install it following the instructins written in the document INSTALL which is supplied in above folder. (4) find out your bcmwl5.inf and .sys files in windows and copy them to /usr/broadcom folder. I am mentioning in windows because you are sure that this driver works fine with the hardware. (5) In root terminal, change to this directory cd /usr/broadcom (6) Type following command ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf You should be 100% sure of your bcmwl5 driver which works on notebook else no success. (7) Verify proper installation and hardware compatibility by typing command ndiswrapper -l (8) It should display: "bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware present" If you don't get it then problem with driver. (9) Place a line in /etc/modprobe.conf at top using editor: alias wlan0 ndiswrapper (10) Now you can reboot to have it activated, or you can run following two commands: (i) depmod -a (ii) modprobe ndiswrapper (11) Deactivate the ethernet port by command ifconfig eth0 down (12) Activate the wireless port by command ifconfig wlan0 up (13) To see wlan0 details to be used in next step type command (i) iwconfig (ii) iwlist wlan0 scan shows the Access points and details (14) run command sytem-config-network for configuring the network. I have configured only static IPs option and left everything to default. (15) You may ping your gateway to confirm the wireless connectivity. I hope this is helpful. RKGarg |
thanx gargrk72. now in the meantime, i've removed the 2.6.16 kernel and kept my 2.6.15 one, then installed ndiswrapper. things went ok, including modprobe. now i'm trying to use the access point of my the neighbourhood (some neighbours using windows XP tell me they can use several APs without encryption key). with
$ /sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan i see 6 APs, of which 3 have their encryption key on and 3 have it off. with $ /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid "NETGEAR" i choose one of the 3 that has the key off. then i do $ /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key open and get the following error msg: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): SET failed on device wlan0; Invalid argument. if i do $ /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key off $ /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up no error msg but then i still have no connection, and netstat -rn doesnt show any result for wlan0. what's wrong ? thanks for helping that hapless newbie... :( cheers, dan |
Hi, grunbergdaniel
Sorry, No experience to guide you. However, i have found that $ifup wlan0 generaly works fine instead of $ifconfig wlan0 up for my wireless. Pl update if you succeed. RKGarg |
I can't find anyone who's had the problem I'm getting.
After a seemingly perfect install I end up with: Quote:
Any help greatly appreciated. |
Maybe I am the slowest learner of all...
I keep getting the same error as I am being asked to try KBUILD/KSRC/KSOURCE (don't know, I have tried them all) and I apparently don't know where my kernel files are installed. I have tried to work with the statement "Then you need to replace the /usr/bin or /usr/src part with the part where your kernel sources are" and used both usr/bin and usr/src but rather than try to monkey copy every possible combination, isn't there a way I can tell where my kernel files are installed?
I do uname -r and I have the exact kernel name, but that does me no good. I have used that in all of the machinations to no avail. I have searched for that exact name in the file browser just to see what turns up (nothing). I figured that would lead me to something that would enable me to make sure my file path to the kernel is correct. So I assume that whatever I need to find, I don't know what name to search for. Isn't there a file that is always in the kernel that will find this elusive location for me right away? I was going to blow this off and just put ndiswrapper on SUSE 10, but it is giving me the same error. Ndiswrapper installed on MEPIS installed right off the bat, and even works with WPA. I don't remember wrestling with anything like this at all. That is why I loaded these other distros on the laptop too. |
bill:
don't know if this will help you, but.. if you've installed kernel-devel, try /lib/modules/build/<version>/ check if build link is broken- mine was. if not, it might point you in the right direction. |
Quote:
or B. compile your own kernel. I'm trying A. I'll post and say how it went. BTW, the ndiswrapper has a wiki that answers many questions brought up here. UPDATE: I already installed the new kernel suggested int the article, and now I can't install the 16k version. I get the error "Can't install a different arch of /home/jrod/Desktop/kernel-2.6.16-1.2133 than already installed." Does anyone know how to uninstall a kernel? UPDATE2: I figured it out. I used yum remove. Also, instead of the linux-ntfs, I used the kernel and kernel-devel suggested in the wiki. |
