Upon modprobing, dmesg gives this: > > ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded > ndeswrapper: loadndiswrapper failed(256) Thats because the package kernel-default includes a copy of ndiswrapper 0.8! I know this is bad! :-) If they manually delete the file /lib/modules/2.6.5-<version>-default/extra/ndiswrapper.ko before they install the new version of ndiswrapper, they will get the new version.

Hello, again, everyone. Thank you, Tim Chick, for your help on issue #1. I'm already getting reports back that it worked. Anyone want to give a stab at #2 and #3? -------- 2) They install, configure, and set up their card as per instructions. Everything works. When they're ready to automate, they type the ndiswrapper -m command, but get this: linux:/programs/belkin # ndiswrapper -m modprobe config already contains alias directive However, I have seen the modprobe.conf and modprobe.conf.local files for these people, and those files DO NOT HAVE a "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" line in them. Anywhere. What's up with that? -------- 3) They install, configure, and get an IP address from the router. But once the router has given them an IP, it doesn't give them anything else, like DNS servers, or any other external bandwidth. Would this have anything to do with ndiswrapper code, or is it more likely a problem with their router? I had to reboot like 2 times before I got my DNS servers via ndiswrapper, but a few of these people still can't get DNS servers after 7 reboots. -------- Thanks in advance. ~~ Andrew D. lin...@wi... |
