there should be an inf file in the drivers sub dir. That is the one you use for ndiswrapper, you can either use the win2k driver or the windows xp driver

the command to install it should be
Code:
ndiswrapper -i "filename"
then
to list the driver and see if the hardware is detected.
then
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
to insert the ndiswrapper module into the kernel
btw i'm assuming you already have ndiswrapper installed

well, there is not an inf file in the drivers subdirectory, I downloaded the driver off of the ndiswrapper wiki. Do you know of another place I can get the *correct* driver?

And I am pretty sure that I have ndiswrapper installed. What can I do to check?

Sheesh! will you stop opening new threads for the same problem over and over again?!?!?!?!
This made me decide not to help you one bit further. Good luck.

JohnVillegas - you have opened a number of threads which are really about the same thing. When each step is complete, simply respond back to one thread with your next problem rather than opening a new thread for it.
