ndis wrapper error in Slackware 10.2
I have an Orinoco gold card 11b/g and the cardmgr detects it, so I've gotten the WindowsXP driver and d/l'ed that on the XP side.
Installed ndiswrapper and have run the commands that have created /etc/ndiswrapper. When I run ndiswrapper -l as root, I get the following output: Code:
root@probot:/home/cmmiller/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.7/utils# ./ndiswrapper -l thanks |
looks like a corrupted driver to me ... try another one or download it again :rolleyes:
what do you get issuing iwconfig as root? |
Are you doing the "ndiswrapper -i <driver>" inside the directory where the driver is located? Also, do you have both the .inf and the .sys files in the directory?
|
also, one problem what I sometimes had with it is you have to make sure you have the .inf the .cat and the .sys file all of the same name in the directory you get the .inf file from; I did it a few times with JUST the .inf file and that messes it up and brings up the message you got.

Why exactly are you trying to use ndiswrapper for an Orinoco gold card? Orinoco cards are natively supported very well by the kernel.

When I ran Ubuntu with the same type of card, I had to also use the ndiswrapper to get it to work. |
I've d/l'ed the Orinoco driver for the NDIS wrapper again and it was a no go.
I'm posting some of my cardctl info to help with the troubleshooting: Code:
Also using iwlist can't see my locked down AP. Any ideas how I can get the orinoco card to work or get the WaveLAN card to find my locked down AP? thanks |
did you run the following?
Code:
ndiswrapper -i DriverName.inf |

root@probot:/home/cmmiller/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.7/utils# ./ndiswrapper -i /ntfs-c/Documents and Settings/CMMiller/My Documents/Orinoco/Winxp/ntpr11ag.inf thanks |
Try
Code:
./ndiswrapper -i "/ntfs-c/Documents and Settings/CMMiller/My Documents/Orinoco/Winxp/ntpr11ag.inf" Brian |
if it is supported nicely by the kernel, lets take that approach. That way you can avoid the windows wrapper/driver all together.
what do you get when you type lsmod? |
