http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I have not clue of Ndiswrapper. It is the first time I use it. I just installed a Windows driver (.inf file) to get an Siemens Gigaset USB Adapter 54 to work. I used the driver on the CD-ROM. When I make a modeprobe, I get this message : Code: claus@rosi:/media/Gigaset/Installation/Gigaset USB Adapter 54/Driver$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. With lsusb I have th following message: Code: claus@rosi:/media/Gigaset/Installation/Gigaset USB Adapter 54/Driver$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 00 (Hardware)

Just a heads up for people with ndiswrapper problems (I crawled the Ubuntu forum and didn't really find this; the info was aggregated from several other sites.)

If you're using an older version of ndiswrapper, and you have the gui AND the program interface (and ndiswrapper even shows that the hardware is attached) but when you modprobe, you're getting this:

FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found

Hi, After googling around, I followed some of the steps I'd seen in this forum to get the usb adapter working.

lsusb Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]

I have standard 11.10 that I upgraded, arch is i686

I downloaded ndiswrapper using the Ubuntu Software Center.

I could use some assistance to trying to get a Belkin N600 DB Wireless Dual-Band USB Adapter to work on a Dell Inspiron 1525 with 64-Bit Ubuntu 12.04. The device won't work out of the box. Tried to go the NDISWrapper route, but using the GUI, received the following message:

Module could not be loaded.

Hey everyone, I just went out and bought a belkin N750 for ubuntu, I thought it might work, I heard all Ralink chips were built into ubuntu, but apparently not. So I got ndiswrapper and installed the XP drivers that came with install disk, and.....

After following the instructions I installed the proper drivers and ndiswrapper program, etc., a month ago.

But last night I updated to the latest distro and this broke my system: it can no longer detect my wireless USB adapter.

The blue light works but there's no connexion between the system and the USB adapter. I've tried several different workin USB ports to no avail.

and asks "is the ndiswrapper module installed?"...but it is.

I'm trying to get my wireless working, and

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/intern...ss-ndiswrapper

lead me to

sudo lshw -C network

which said UNCLAIMED

so I installed the ndisgtk package.

found the drivers on the realtek site, used the ndisgtk, found the inf, and was given:

Module could not be loaded.

Hi, I've been using ndiswrapper and kmod-ndiswrapper since kernel-2.6 which have automatically been integrated in each kernel update.

Hello, I posted yesterday but post apparently did not get posted, or was moderated but I was not informed. Anyway here is more info WIFI usb adapter by trendnet TEW-648UB Apparently detected but did not work. installed the provided windows drivers with ndiswrapper and all seems to be fine:

Code: cromestant@cromestant-IMEDIA-D3610-FR:~$ ndiswrapper -l net8192su : driver installed    

I recently upgraded my ubuntu server from 10.04 to 12.04. I am trying to use my TL-WN723N V2 wireless USB Adapter. I have added rtl8192cu driver module to /etc/modules so that it can be loaded at boot time. But I am stuck at the basic issue (it seems).
