Fedora :: Wit's End - Wireless USB Is Not Being Found After Un-installing Ndiswrapper
Oct 10, 2009
After un-installing ndiswrapper my wireless USB is not being found I can't use it. I have no idea what's going on. My searches have been fruitless and I only have so much longer that I can connect directly to the router. Then I have no internet connection. I have even thought about re-installing or distro hopping, but I like Fedora and don't really want to do that. I have always been told no matter the problem there is always a way around without re-installing, eg this is not Windows.

i've patched the source files to be installed on f14 and finally got a succesfull install, ndiswrapper -l comes back with driver installed and presentwhen i run modprobe ndiswrapper i get "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found" after many hours of google searching and reading various threads i cannont seem to find a solution to this apart from manualy coping the ndiswrapper.ko file but when i use that solution modprobe starts ndiswrapper but there is no wlan0 present in iwconfig.now for some reason even wheni move the ndiswrapper.ko file manually it still is giving me that error. this worked earlier as i mentioned but then i reinstalled ndiswrapper hoping something went wrong but still got the same error so i tried that same fix and i'm still getting that error. i can't figure out what i migt've done differently earlier but i'm not having any luck.

I updated to the latest kernel from Suse 11.2 repo. My wireless device won't load firmwares, ndiswrapper won't be a module anymore etc. :
Code:
inux-kqzq:/home/olivier/T l chargement/fwextract3 # modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
linux-kqzq:/home/olivier/T l chargement/fwextract3 # find /usr -name ndiswrapper
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
^C
linux-kqzq:/home/olivier/T l chargement/fwextract3 # find /lib -name ndiswrapper*
/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/updates/ndiswrapper.ko
linux-kqzq:/home/olivier/T l chargement/fwextract3 # uname -r
2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop is uname
and 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop is the module

I have lenovo thinkpad, T61 with Intel 4965AGN wireless card. It is a N card, it works under N mode in windwos, but not in Ubuntu (10.10). I installed ndiswrapper and got the windows xp drivers for this card. the issue is that i got an error when installing the drivers and since then I cannot use wireless.
The error i got is: Code: Module could not be loaded. Error was: FATAL: Could not read '/lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or director I unistalled the driver, but now under network connections no wireless connections appear, nothing. I cannot use wirless anymore.

I recently upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4 GNOME on my ancient Compaq Armada E500 (Pentium II processor w/512MB of RAM) and now I'm trying to install my wireless driver with ndiswrapper. I've done this a couple of times before, but I'm having trouble getting ndiswrapper to find my driver. The driver is located in a folder on my desktop, but when I type the command 'ndiswrapper -i home/edwin/Desktop/WPC54G_40826/LSTINDS.INF' I get a message that there is no such file or directory at ndiswrapper's location, which is usr/sbin/ndiswrapper. So how do I get ndiswrapper either to look in the directory where the file is located or get a copy of LSTINDS.INF into the usr/sbin/ directory, which must be accessed as root?

I'm trying to get a Belkin f5d8010 working. I installed ndiswrapper from Add/Remove software, but when it was done, I couldn't find it. Checking the forum, I ran across something saying that I had to compile from source. This is in Fedora 13. Can I get it working with "point-and-click," or do I have do something that requires some thought?( I don't have many of those.)

This installed my Netgear WG311v3 Wi-Fi card on this machine using Fedora 14 x86_64 it took me a while to do so in the future I can (hopefully) follow this guide myself in the future and for anyone who is having problems. First thing you need to do is make sure your system and kernel is up-to-date:
Code:
su yum update next you need to make sure that the kernel headers are installed so you can compile ndiswrapper (which is no longer available on FreshRPMs) and GCC as well as svn to get the latest build of ndiswrapper:
Code:
su yum install kernel-headers gcc svn Now we need to get the latest build of ndiswrapper to make and install it; make sure you do this outside of root:

sometime back when installing FC10, i tried installing ndis wrapper, and later i installed the broadcom driver bcm431 (i think). also i didn't remove the ndis wrapper.
all was fine untill a yesterday when ndis wrapper and some related packages got updated which somehow caused wireless to stop working. lspci showed the hardware present.
to get it to work, i did a yum erase ndis-wrapper, followed by a reboot.
it may not be the most elegent way, but it worked for me.
hardware specs:acer aspire 4720Z (mine has broadcom wireless, others may have atheros)

I installed ndiswrapper and tried adding a driver. Error: module ndiswrapper not found.So I recompiled my kernel, upgrading to 2.6.33.4 (no, I can't see the logical connection either) After a week, I got the new kernel working ( in the interim I reinstalled debian- it didn't survive my first kernel attempt. don't ask), and reinstalled ndiswrapper. Same problem. So I had a stoke of genius: download the source package!! So I did. Lo and behold, a new directory appeared in /usr/src/ : modules. I took a moment to admire my work, then I jumped in.I 'ls'ed to see what was going on, and found a Makefile. so I typed 'make'. First error: kernel source not found. So I entered the Makefile, found the(clearly marked)variable,and changed it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4 , exited, and redid 'make' Second error: no wireless support in kernel. So I went to src/linux-2.6.33.4 and did a make menuconfig- loaded my current, threw in wireless, and exited.

According to a help page (Wireless Network Card Installation - openSUSE) I need to use ndiswrapper to install the windows driver for my wireless. However it appears the command 'ndiswrapper' was not installed with the operating system. How can I obtain the package for ndiswrapper and install it? Not being connected to the wifi makes this step tricky

I am trying to install ndiswrapper in Fedora in order to install a Windows wireless driver.
Code:
su -c 'yum install kmod-ndiswrapper'
, I get this:
Code:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Rhythmbox crashed and my radio stations disappeared. I'm not sure if this bears any relation.

This is a specific newbie question and a general question. How can I install packages from the SUSE CD? AND if possible can I install ndiswrapper from the CD? I don't have an internet connection on the PC I want to install this on and I assume/hope this particular package is on the SUSE 11.2 CD.
If ndiswrapper isn't on the CD whats the correct package I should manually download?
I want install this I'd like to keep this thread specific to this issue- I'll open another thread if what I'm trying to do with ndiswrapper doesn't work.

I am using ndisinstaller in openSUSE 11.2 to re-install a Windows driver. This is equivalent to ndisgtk in Ubuntu and is a GUI to help installing Windows driver via ndiswrapper. Note that you have to locate the .INF driver file in Windows partition, not Linux partition, or else ndisinstaller won't work. When I open ndisinstaller as root, it asks me if I want to re-use an "existing instance of ndiswrapper" or eliminate this manually.
If I choose "reuse existing ndiswrapper instance", the driver installation works but writing the module seems take forever. So my question is how do I eliminate an existing instance of ndiswrapper by hand? Please note that prior to using ndisinstaller, I have already removed any existing drivers and ndiswrapper modules to make a clean slate.

Started using Fedora 13 from a liveUSB w/ persistent overlay. My netgear wg511 wireless card is not recognized, so I want to install ndiswrapper. Any tips for doing this, given my situation (liveUSB, no wired connection)? Or is there a work-around that doesn't involve ndiswrapper?

I am trying to install ndiswrapper, and have gotten as far as extracting the .gz file. However, when I type in the "make" command, it returns the error message:
Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5, is it configured? Stop.
I do not have anything in the folder /usr/src, so I don't know where it might be. I'd like to install this, so it will make my switch to Linux easier.

I have a Realtek RTL8187SE wireless card that out of the box will only connect to Open Wireless Networks. I need to know how (and if) I can install NDISwrapper in OpenSuse 11.4 (KDE), anytime I have ever used a KDE distro, it seemed NDISwrapper didn't work I want to give OpenSuse a shot, but this is one of the things holding me back. I'm am currently posting from the LiveCD and it's very nice! I will be able to do a full install!

Just did a clean install of F11 on a machine that had had F10 on it. The F10 machine also had been updated to play DVDs (libdvdcss...?)
I was able to "yum install" kino or use the package manager to install it on my F10 machine (nonstandard repository?), but not finding it with package manager in F11.
I have downloaded the source package for kino and and following the installation instructions, but the "./configure" step tells me that libdv is not there:
My jaw dropped at how well Kino worked under F10, and I formatted my Vista partition to make more space on the hard drive for home video files.

I have to use ndiswrapper to get my wireless card to work (Cheap D-link usb wireless). I have never had a problem in ubuntu releases with getting it up and going, but in Fedora and now Opensuse I am struggling. I have everything setup with no errors. Ndiswrapper lists my drivers as installed and my hardware present. lsusb also has it listed. but when I modprobe ndiswrapper, I am getting no errors, but I am also not getting wlan0 to show when using iwconfig. I also noticed when modprobed the wireless card's light isn't coming on like ubuntu.

I'm trying my to get my 3-year-old Dynex wireless dongle to work in Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). Borrowing a similar linksys adapter from another computer running Ubuntu, I was able to install NDISGTK and transfer the same drivers that work in my 64-bit Windows 7 installation into my home folder.
Despite the fact that the dongle does not appear at all using lshw -C Network, ndiswrapper -l indicates that the driver is installed and the device is present. I think I found something interesting, though, when I tried this command:
Code:
jimmy@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep -e ndis -e wlan
[ 9.321323] ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
[ 10.021542] ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: NDIS.SYS:'NdisMIndicateReceiveNetBufferLists'
[ 10.021549] ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: NDIS.SYS:'NdisAllocateIoWorkItem'
[ 10.021554] ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: NDIS.SYS:'NdisFreeIoWorkItem'

I recently installed ndiswrapper and decided to remove it after some kernel panics. The problem is that it overwrote something because I have the compat-wireless-backport driver installed but 'wlan0' doesn't show up anymore. I can see my wireless card when I type 'lsusb'. Any ideas on how to fix?

I just installed ndiswrapper so I could install my wireless PCI card drivers.I did that and it is recognized and so is the network I want to connect to.But for some reason, it just wont connect. It will spend a long time trying to connect, but then just says "disconnected".What could be the problem? It's not like I have a bad connection or anything

I just recently put Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on my laptop with windows dual booting. I'm pretty new to all this stuff, so I'm a bit confused. I followed instructions I read on here, but none of it seems to be working. I put all of the 3 Ndiswrapper things on, and then copied the .inf and .sys files from windows into the same directory. I just want to connect to my home network, which has WEP security.
