ndiswrapper help - dan - 2005-02-14
I cannot find ANY easy directions/guide for installing the ndis utility. I have a Linksys WMA54G pcmcia card in a Dell Latitude C400 running Fedora Core 3. I looked at the ndis website, but am lost - I tried the instructions from that site, but to no avail...
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks in advance!!!

I downloaded the ndiswrapper from [/url]http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ - ver 1.0. I followed the direction localed here: [url=http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki...hp/Installation]http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki...hp/Installation
First step is to MAKE
Quote:[root@c400 ndiswrapper-1.0]# makemake -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build SUBDIRS=/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver \
NDISWRAPPER_VERSION=1.0 \
EXTRA_VERSION= modules
/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: gcc: command not found
/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 12: gcc: command not found
make[2]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build'
CC [M] /ndiswrapper-1.0/driver/hal.o
/bin/sh: gcc: command not found
make[3]: *** [/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver/hal.o] Error 127
make[2]: *** [_module_/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver] Error 2

make[1]: *** [default] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Second Step is to MAKE install
Quote:[root@c400 ndiswrapper-1.0]# make installmake -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build SUBDIRS=/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver \
NDISWRAPPER_VERSION=1.0 \
EXTRA_VERSION= modules
/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: gcc: command not found
/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 12: gcc: command not found
make[2]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build'
CC [M] /ndiswrapper-1.0/driver/hal.o
/bin/sh: gcc: command not found
make[3]: *** [/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver/hal.o] Error 127
make[2]: *** [_module_/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build'
make[1]: *** [default] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2
I'm getting the "Error 2" on both of these, so I'm assuming there is no point in going any further.
I did go on to look in the Wiki to find my Linksys WMA54G pcmcia card in the list that WILL work with the ndiswrapper, and downloaded the appropriate driver recomended from from Dell of all places... weird, but Ok...
Hope this sheds some more light on it... Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

OK, That problem is fixed. Now on to other problems with this ndiswrapper....
I have it installed - have installed the windows drivers, and Fedora "sees" the Wireless card as "ndiswrapper wlan0". when I go to activate the adapter, this is the error I get:
Quote:Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check cable?
I'm running Kernel 2.6.9-1.667 from Linuxant - to fix the stack4 problem listed in the ndiswrapper FAQ.
The Wireless card is a Linksys WPC54G ver 1 - Driver according to ndiswrapper can be found here
Hope I haven't let anything out.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!
