Hello, For my question, normally I would go to: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List but I end up going to a blank page w/ URL: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ Anyways, I have a Compaq nc8430 laptop w/ Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG card, and I installed XUbuntu 8.10 (Intepid Ibex) on it. From the Synaptic package manager I installed: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndiswrapper-common ndisgtk which, according to the version info, correspond to ndiswrapper 1.52. (For anyone who asks, I did try to install 1.53 from download, but ended up with a slew of errors during make; the solution, I read, was to download & install the above packages). QUESTION: I went to Intel's website to download the driver for the Intel Pro/Wireless card for Windows-XP Professional, the latest available of which is 12.2.0.0_X_Drivers.zip (which contains NETw5x32.inf). For my system specs above, is this supported by ndiswrapper 1.52? If not, which version of the drivers should I get? Thanks! --john |

Forgive me for asking the obvious - I happened to have read the in-kernel intel driver code recently, and I believe the 3945 is supported by the linux kernel natively by an in-kernel-tree driver. why do you need to use ndiswrapper? have a look at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers - I just checked, it is there. --- On Wed, 7/1/09, John Sasso <jsa...@gm...> wrote: > From: John Sasso <jsa...@gm...> > Subject: [Ndiswrapper-general] Supported driver for 3945ABG > To: ndi...@li... > Date: Wednesday, 7 January, 2009, 4:31 AM > Hello, > > For my question, normally I would go to: > > http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List > > but I end up going to a blank page w/ URL: > > http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ > > Anyways, I have a Compaq nc8430 laptop w/ Intel > Pro/Wireless 3945ABG > card, and I installed XUbuntu 8.10 (Intepid Ibex) on it. > From the > Synaptic package manager I installed: > > ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 > ndiswrapper-common > ndisgtk > > which, according to the version info, correspond to > ndiswrapper 1.52. > (For anyone who asks, I did try to install 1.53 from > download, but ended > up with a slew of errors during make; the solution, I read, > was to > download & install the above packages). > > QUESTION: I went to Intel's website to download the > driver for the > Intel Pro/Wireless card for Windows-XP Professional, the > latest > available of which is 12.2.0.0_X_Drivers.zip (which > contains NETw5x32.inf). > For my system specs above, is this supported by > ndiswrapper 1.52? > If not, which version of the drivers should I get? > > Thanks! > > --john > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. > It is the best place to buy or sell services for > just about anything Open Source. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/Xq1LFB > _______________________________________________ > Ndiswrapper-general mailing list > Ndi...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ndiswrapper-general |

That's not enough information to fix the problem. I don't think it's a regression in 1.53. Most likely, you don't have the kernel development package. I believe it's called "linux-headers" in Ubuntu. > QUESTION: I went to Intel's website to download the driver for the > Intel Pro/Wireless card for Windows-XP Professional, the latest > available of which is 12.2.0.0_X_Drivers.zip (which contains NETw5x32.inf). > For my system specs above, is this supported by ndiswrapper 1.52? > If not, which version of the drivers should I get? I believe most drivers for Windows XP are supported. I think you can assume it's supported unless you present evidence that it's not. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |
