anyone used ndis wrapper in linux

[+Daemon+]

yup I use it in my dell 9100 in gentoo linux

its very simple to use, you will need the kernel src for your kernel you are using.

So id check /usr/src and see if linux is there and or somthing like linux-2.4.22 or somthing, cause if its not there then you will need to get the source for your exact kernel from mandrak. ndiswrapper compiles intothe kernel as a module, then after you compile it and install it, you load it with the windows driver. then you can setup your card with iwconfig, test it with iwlist

then go download ndiswrapper from there site, get the latest version 11_pre I think it is, and follow the INSTALL doc. Its very simple


http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

you will need to get the windows drivers and extract them if it is a exe or zip, and you will need the .sys and .inf files.

here is the install help
