ndiswrapper is not difficult.
the step is here:
1. download from
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
2. copy to your hardisk
3. do command:
Code:
$tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-1.43.tar.gz
$cd ndiswrapper-1.43
$make uninstall
$make
$sudo make install
password:
4. find your windows driver for the WLAN
5. do command(as root):
Code:
#ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
bcmwl5 driver installed:hardware present
the example above is using bcmwl5 (broadcom WLAN), repladce it with your WLAN
if you got different message then:
Code:
yourwlan driver installed:hardware present
then there is something wrong.
you can check the list of driver supported by ndiswrapper.There are probabilities that your driver is not supported although the list is very-very loong.
I have been using ndiswrapper for my BCMWL5 for +/- 6 months with openSUSE 10.x, and there is no problem.
Happy trying...
