[ubuntu] wireless for T-40 3 years 16 weeks ago

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu and I cant get my wireless connection to work. I found that I need ndiswrapper to update my drivers following the sticky post in here. However there is a problem, because I cant successfully run ndiswrapper on my system. Please help.

Ubuntu 9.10, IBM ThinkPad T-40, what am I doing wrong?

I installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS server on an old PC. This PC has a wireless card (Netgear wg311v3). This computer now has no access to Internet so whatever I do I transfer it from another PC. I tried to install a driver for Windows with the help of ndiswrapper but with no success.

What I did is that I downloaded the source file of ndiswrapper from here and tried to compile it as instructed from here

ndiswrapper. 3 years 32 weeks ago

Hi,

I'm trying to install ndiswrapper and get:

[chrispche@localhost ndiswrapper-1.55]$ make uninstall which: no loadndisdriver in (/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/chrispche/bin)

For some reason, when I try to install the driver for my wireless card (and it matches the card, the driver is made by the same company that makes a specific driver for it), however, for some reason I get an error message when trying to install the driver.

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 just installed Mandriva Powerpack 2010 on a Dell Inspiron mini 10 and I can't make a wireless connection. I downloaded a wireless driver from dell.com and then went to Configure Your Computer -> Network & Internet -> Set up new network interface -> Wireless(Wi-Fi)-> Use a Windows driver (with ndiswrapper) and then selected the .INF file of that driver.I got this message: "

(Followed instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...er/Ndiswrapper for installing driver) Currently have things running pretty smoothly, with an ethernet connection between laptop and Ubuntu Server 12.04.2, feeding Internet connection from laptop to server (Working fine). I have Ndiswrapper (1.3.8?

[ubuntu] ndiswrapper query 2 years 34 weeks ago

Hello,

I am trying to install windows wireless drivers using ndiswrapper to have better connectivity around my house(I can only currently get online in certain rooms, very restricted).

I have ndiswrapper installed OK, but I am a bit lost on the step where I have to browse to my windows wireless driver(a .inf file I believe), my question is how do I know where this is?

I am trying to install the correct LAN card drivers on openSuse 12.1.
