Hi, I installed Dapper sucessfully. I then needed to get ndiswrapper working so I could get wifi. I went through the instructions once but had some error doing modprobe, I forgot what it was. So I went through the instructions for reinstalling ndiswrapper which included purging the system of anything ndiswrapper related. Included in this was deleting the ndiswrapper folder under /lib/modules. I reinstalled ndiswrapper and successfully installed the driver for my laptop. I did depmod -a and it did its thing, then when I did modprobe ndiswrapper, it gave me a fatal error saying that it couldn't find ndiswrapper. Even though I reinstalled ndiswrapper, I could not find it under /lib/modules, I did a search.

I was poking around and it looks like the ndiswrapper entry under /lib/modules originally came from the linux-image package (it was listed as an installed file in synaptic). Unfortunately, I couldn't reinstall linux-image because I couldn't find this package anywhere in my install cd. How'd it get there to begin with then? Also, I used sudo for all commands. Any ideas? Thanks.

Which instructions would these be?

The ones on the ubuntu wiki and the ndiswrapper page. I'll try that with the acx on your link and see if that works, otherwise it's pretty much the same thing I did. About my question with linux-image, do you have any idea how I can reinstall that?

I didn't have acx loaded. Also, I'm using 6.06.

It's been solved.

Good - what was the eventual solution? Can you provide a synopsis?

Unfortunately no, it just worked one time.
