RE: [Ndiswrapper-general] latest CVS - no device/not even DEBUG?

[Berger,Martin <Mar...@dr...>]

Hi,

I've solved the Problem:=20

cause: my original bcmwl5.inf was encoded in a multi-byte character set.
       (some kind of UTF-16 as I found out later)
symptom: * ndiswrapper -i seemes to work fine (no error output),=20
         * but in /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/ only the .inf file is =
written,=20
           but no .conf or .sys file.
fix?
  I guess some ways:
    * either check the *.inf if it's written in an 1-byte character set
      (e.g. using 'file *.inf' or something) and throw a proper =
error-message.
    * or use some tool to recode the *.inf file to a 1-byte character =
set
      (in my case a  recode -f -v co..pc <  bcmwl5.inf > =
bcmwl5.inf.recode
      worked - but I'm sure there will be many different cases)
    * or use any method perl will provide to do a more or less automatic
      input convertion (I'm sure perl has something to do so in CPAN, =
but I'm
      no talented coder and unused to pearl for years)
    * or something brilliant magic I can't imagine!

maybe this helps someone else :)
