General :: Install Wireless Driver From Windows?
Oct 27, 2010
I've got a Atheros AR9285 wireless card. I'd like to install the driver so I can access the internet, but I cannot install it without installing the driver to access the internet. See the problem?
Fortunately, I've got a Windows partition set up that can access the internet. Hence this post. How can I go about installing the driver?
Where can I download the driver from? Where should I put it on my hard drive? What command do I use to install the driver?
Edit:
I'm on a gateway laptop. I know I can't install the drive from within windows. I'm asking which driver to download and what command installs the driver from within Linux.
Edit2:
I can't use LAN in this case.

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

time Windows user here; limited line command experience from early computer learning; Just wiped my drive and installed Ubuntu. How do I install a driver for the netgear wireless adapter - it was already installed in the machine. I've downloaded the driver believed to work. What next? Also, any instruction on educating myself on Linux/Ubuntu basics?

I just installed Linux Mint 9 as a dual boot install with Win XP. Trying to activate wireless network card driver and video driver. Pops up: "You are not authorized to perform this action".How do I get authorized?
Now every time I boot Win XP, the Internet Explorer menu bar is all blacked out and goofy. If I log out and back in it corrects itself. If I reboot it's blacked out again. Re-installed IE8. Still blacks out.Also Firefox in Win XP crashes expectantly. It has NEVER crashed on me previously.

I have installed Lubuntu on my dell Latitude C400. Recently I had Unbuntu, but my system was to slow for it. The wireless worked when I installed sl-modem-daemon_2.9.11~20100303-2_i386.deb, however this does not work with Lubuntu. I have used the ndiswrapper to install a driver from windows, and still it is not installed.
After iwconfig i get
lo no wireless extensions
eth1 no wireless extensions
The other problem is this laptop has no cd dive and the ethernet connection does not work, so I can t do updates.

I'm using Fedora 14 GNOME. At least until tomorrow when 15 beta comes out Anyway, I'm trying to install drivers for my wireless card. It's a Realtek Semiconductor, RTL8191SEvB. I'm using RTL8192 drivers, which work just fine when I can get them to install. I have all of the necessary files to install it, and they've worked before on a previous Fedora 14 (KDE) install. I cd into the drive and run "sudo make" which gives me the following:

I downloaded my linux wireless driver (realtek 8191se), but I don't know how to install it because there is no .exe file(like windows). It has a readme file which says :
"You can enter top-level directory of driver and execute follwing command to Compile, Installation, or uninstall the driver:
0. Change to Super User sudo su
1. Compile driver from the source code make
2. Install the driver to the kernel make install reboot"

I am completely new to linux so a lot of this has been foreign to me. I have ran the lspci command to find out my wireless card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 and I found the driver for this card at:it won't let me post the URL for some reason...but i googled "Broadcom BCM4313 driver for linux" and it's the first link.I downloaded the 32-bit driver but now I have absolutely no idea what to do.The download has folders named lib and src, and a text file called Makefile.

I am trying to install an Asus USB-N13 USB Wireless Networking stick on an Intel-chip laptop loaded with Debian squeeze release. I have built a driver (rt3070sta.ko) and the "insmod rt3070sta.ko" seems to have worked fine. I can see the driver with "ifconfig ra0" and I can set an ip address with "ifconfig ra0 inet...".HOWEVER: 1: The gnome network manager doesn't see any wireless networks to connect to.2: If I try "ifconfig ra0 up" I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted"I am doing this from a root window and my login has root privileges. I'm missing a last step - what is it?

I have installed backtrack 3 on vmware workstation. I would like to install a TP-link TL-WN650G wireless card(atheros based - AR5005GS) onBacktrack because that it supports packet injection. Backtrack doesn't automatically recognize the device so I need to install the driver, I have done some research and found I needed to install the driver 'madwifi-old'(ieee80211 version) from here..http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=madwifihttp://madwifi-project.org/However I have no idea how to install them from inside backtrack, so if someone knows please let me know.

I've been in a difficult situation since we're having only wifi and there is no way to connect my laptop to the internet via a LAN cable.
Debian's packages don't support my wireless card. However this one works: [URL]
Is there any way to install this driver for the Installer to connect to the internet while installing?
I don't know what exactly to do when the Installer ask for my network driver so that I can use it.

I'm trying to install the driver for mi wireless card. The instructions say that to build the tar.gz file, I have to:
# mkdir hybrid_wl
# cd hybrid_wl
# tar <path>/hybrid-portsrc.tarhybrid-portsrc-x86_64.tar.gz
The third step i don't understand. I want the folder of the driver to be located in a folder inside home called "Programas" so what I did was to open the terminal, went su, and then did cd Programas. Then I followed instructions 1 and 2, but I don't know what to put where it says <path>.
