Re: ndiswraaper install error.
I just used NDISWrapper to get a netgear wg111v2 fob to wifi...
I have only done this with the 2.6 kernel, never 2.4.
I also indicate the rev's I used, you may find different revisions.
Get the source
ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net
sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/
cd /usr/local/src
mkdir ndis;cd ndsi
download the ndiswrapper-1.9.tar.gz
gunzip ndiswrapper-1.9.tar.gz
tar -xvf ndiswrapper-1.9.tar.gz
make distclean
make
make install
-- OR --
apt-get install ndiswrapper-source # Source for the ndiswrapper linux
kernel module
apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils # Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
The following is also need to process the windriver.inf file
apt-get install zip # for win zip'd files
apt-get install unzip # for win zip'd files
apt-get install unshield # for win .cab files
Might also need kernel headers (correct for your cpu, etc.)
apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386
Get the Windows Driver you want to use
Download the driver
unzip driver.zip
unshield -d
x cabfile.cab
find the driver.inf to use
ndsiwrapper -i driver.inf
ndsiwrapper -l
should report on sw and hw SO have the h/w hookedup and powered
ndsiwrapper -m
depmod -a
modprobe ndsiwrapper
configure the h/w as needed.
I offer as an example some detail on install/config for a Netgear WG111 V2
Wifi Fob. from the website: NdisWrapper - Install
I used some combo of the following to get my Netgear 111 to 'see' and
'talk' to the network ...
unzip wg111v2_v1.0.0.5.zip
unshield data2.cab
ndiswrapper -i data2.inf
ndiswrapper -m
depmod -a
modprobe ndiswrapper
vi /etc/network/interfaces Add the entires for wlan0
these matched the entrie for the cardbus wireless eithernet card I had
already running in the machine.
ifdown wlan0; ifup wlan0
Once I had the fob working, I had to hand create an S99wlan0 file to bring
the fob up. This was set in the rc*.d directory structure.
