[SOLVED] ndiswrapper; or specifically dwa142 *without* multilib, for 64bit slack

mrclisdue · 06-19-2013, 12:45 PM

hi all,

Subject pretty well sums it up: I can't find or build ndiswrapper for slack64, nor am I having any success building using linuxant's driver loader, the latest error being:

Code:

/usr/lib/driverloader/modules/GPL/oscompat.h:121:24: fatal error: asm/system.h:

This was just the latest of several errors, which I've been eliminating one-by-one....

As an aside, I've never used lxc, but this looks like an ideal situation. Any hints?

cheers,

I've tried sbopkg in the past, and re-tried on 2 boxes, here's where I get the farthest:

Mike

Whilst I'd *like* to play around forever, I'd really rather have a working copy - the kernel I'd like it compiled against is -current's 3.9.5, so if that's possible, could you drop it somewhere and pm me or post here...or, if you'd prefer, my nic at gmail.com would be kewl.

Thanks in advance, and virtual beers all round.

cheers,

I received a tarball from Mike Booth76, compiled and worked like a charm.

I love this forum.

cheers,
