Re: set up for a ndis wrap

I'm going to assume you want to know how to use ndiswrapper to install a windows driver.

hears how I did it.

first I made a folder in /home/vinny cald drivers.
then I copey'd the XP drivers to this folder.
in my case ......ar5416.sys net5416.cat net5416.inf

then open a terminal in the folder that contanes the drvers and do...

sudo ndiswrapper -i net5416.inf

this is MY .inf file use YOUR'S in the ubuve comand !

then

sudo ndiswrapper -m

then

sudo ndiswrapper -ma

then

sudo ndiswrapper -mi

then

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

now the card should work you may halft to reboot but not shure.

and are you shure you nead to install drivers with ndiswrapper a lot of wirless is good to go from the start now.

wicd is a faveret of a lot of pepole to but I had allredey had good resalt's with ndiswrapper so never tryed it.

good luck VINNY
