Ndiswrapper not working..... help!

[javageek1212]

I have read several posts saying to get Ndiswrapper gtk from adept I can't find adept maybe jaunty Jackalope doesn't support it I don't know but in Kubuntu I have to use a driver for my internet that is not native to Linux and I'm no good at command lines.

I need help getting my Internet working I can not hook up my computer to the internet to download anything like WIRED but I do have a dual boot with windows, that I would like to get off of my machine it has Internet, so if I'm told that I have to download a deb then I can do it in windows and use it in Linux.

If I have to do it in command line that's fine but I basically just need a guide on how to.

thanks,

Bumping after four minutes? How fast do you think this forum works


Anyway, use either/or lspci or lshw in a konsole to find out what kind of wireless chip you have and report back here.

That's an OLD device!

Try this:

If you are running wicd and it doesn't connect you may have to remove Wicd and put KNetworkmanager back on

A computer "generation" is 3 years. Your device first appeared more than 4 years ago:

But, back to the topic....

I will try that link anyway though.

What happened when you tried what the link suggested?

well if you think you must use ndiswrapper hear you nead them both ........and utils depends on libc6 witch depends on 2 others and thats ware I stoped so see if you have libc6 allreadey befor you go eney further with this adventure.

type

locate libc6 | less

if you get a bunch of stuff refering to libc6 your good..............the q key wil get you out of it.

so if your good with that libc6 get both of these installed and then get back for the rest.......

http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...untu1_i386.deb

hint .............the rest wil requiere the XP drivers for the card :P

no realey get back you must do the ndiswrapper thing just right if your going to try it.
