Re: ndiswrapper as a module
Guys,
As I mentioned on an email I sent just to David after I sent this
message to him, I was confused the version.h file is in fact there.
I was able to compile ndiswrapper and install it.
I now have a file called /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc/ndiswrapper.o
The problem I am facing now is that "modprobe ndiswrapper" doesn't seem
to find it. I says that it can't locate module ndiswrapper.
Any hints?
As always, thanks in advance.
-Marvin
