OpenSUSE Wireless :: Using The NDISwrapper In 11.4?

Mar 20, 2011

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!

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Use Ndiswrapper To Install The Windows Driver For Wireless?

Nov 12, 2010

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

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Installing Wireless Driver With Ndiswrapper On 11.4 GNOME

Mar 20, 2011

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?

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Ndiswrapper Error Free But No Wlan0

Mar 25, 2010

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.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Make, Ndiswrapper And Therefore Wlan Wont Install?

Feb 9, 2010

since if read all the forums threads, faqs an tutorials i could find, i hope to find some help here.
i just installed openSuse 11.2, KDE 4.3.1 a fews days ago to see what's it all about. i don't have any experience in writing code or anything besides the few little commands i've learnd through my research. the system is running on an old laptop (amd64 3000+) with enough RAM and HD. now i since my wlan-card is detected but won't work due to missing driver i tried this ndiswrapper-method. i used the ndis-version that was included in the openSuse-dvd with no success, then i de-installed this version to try manually. i downloaded version 1.55 from the ndiswrapper-website, logged into the console as superadmin and followed the install-intructions and for intances this tutorial. now i'm even stuck with the "make"-command as the console tells me "If 'make' is not a typo. in earlier attempts while trying to install the wlan-driver through the dvd-given ndiswrapper version i often got the error "makefile:23: kernel tree not found..."
as the welcome-note for this forum demands here's some output from the console linux-g6rk:/home/mat/ndis # lspci -nn

02:09.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) [17fe:2220]dmesg|less [0.331220] aer 0000:00:02.0:pcie02: AER service couldn't init device: no _OSC support (i guess that's the line telling me that my wlan-card has no firmware as i found nothing else for that matter) i know there many threads about this topic but i've spend the last two days looking for answers and the stuff i found either didn't work or was explained so weird that i could make anything out of it.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Ndiswrapper Will Not Accept The Driver For WiFi Card?

Apr 29, 2011

I have just installed openSuse 11.4 and have been trying to get my Edimax EW-7711In wireless card to work. I have downloaded and installed NDISWRAPPER but when I type ndiswrapper -i /path/to/rt2860.inf I get a message saying that this is the incorrect driver. However this driver drives the card for both Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 10.10, both using ndiswrapper, so what may be the problem with openSuse 11.4?

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Command "modprobe Ndiswrapper" Not Working?

I have a problem with the fritz!wlan usb stick. I have installed itth success on another PC by using instructions published here Ndiswrapper - openSUSE.Today I have decided to erase WindowsXP from my wife's computer (that is an identical to the one I use). So I have downloaded the OpenSuse 11.2 DVD and I have performed a completely new installation from DVD.After installation has been executed with success, I have decided to install an internet connection using the istructions above. I told to myself: "it will take 5 minutes, all I must to do is to reply action I have done one month ago... the internet usb-stick is the same, so it will be easy to replicate the process..."I was wrong... When I reach the point where I must "modprobe" the ndiswrapper module I receive what follows:

Code:

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Ndiswrapper 1.55 Won't Compile - "The Program 'kernel-headers' Is Missing On Your System"

Jan 24, 2010

I am using Opensuse 11.2 on an HP Pavilion laptop. The internal wireless (Broadcom device) quit on me - It is no longer detected at boot so I assume it is dead. No problem since I have a D_Link USB adaptor (DWL-G132). To get it working however I need ndiswrapper. I then installed ndiswrapper 1.55 and the user interface supplied with Opensuse. Problem1- The interface says "The program 'kernel-headers' is missing on your system".

I have checked with Yast and the kernel-headers are installed. Problem2- I have downloaded ndiswrapper 1.55 from Sourceforge.net to attempt the traditional installation method. The 'make' command returns the following message: "Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop/build, is it configured?."

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Dynex Wireless G USB Dongle - NDISWrapper?

Dec 10, 2010

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'

General :: Wireless Not Working - Ndiswrapper And Drivers Installed?

Sep 15, 2010

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.

Fedora Networking :: Acer Laptop, Broadcom Wireless And Ndiswrapper?

Aug 7, 2009

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)

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Freezes Computer - Switch To Ndiswrapper?

Jul 28, 2010

Since I upgraded to Lucid, I am dealing with serious instabilities related to my wireless card. What happens is that when there is a lot of wireless activity the computer freezes. It is a complete freeze, the mouse stops moving, if something was coming out of the speakers it keeps echoing, and the only solution is to turn off the computer. The bug seems to coincide with the one listed in here

[URL]

My wireless card is Intersil ISL3890/ISL3886. My whole computer is an HP z555. I'm thinking that is should be a bug in the wireless adapter driver, which is p54pci. The only solution I can think of is to blacklist it and set up ndiswrapper. I am not very comfortable with this solution since a native linux driver should be better than ndiswrapper.

Ubuntu Networking :: Installed Driver Via Ndiswrapper. Wireless Still Not Working?

Mar 30, 2011

Before I start off, I must say that I know NOTHING about Ubuntu. I only know how to run .deb files. So I installed my wireless driver via the graphical ndiswrapper (FYI my wireless adapter is a Proxim 8424-WD). It then said "Unable to see if hardware is present". After I exited out of that message, it said "Hardware:Present" (or something of that sort) next to the newly installed driver. I tried searching for wireless networks and found none. I'm guessing something didn't work right. I used this command "lshw -C network" and got the following result.

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Wireless Card / Stemming From Ndiswrapper Not Cooperating?

May 23, 2011

I am trying to install my Linksys Wireless-B WPM11v4 card on Xubuntu. I think my main problem is stemming from ndiswrapper not cooperating. It won't install, and something to do with ndiswrapper errors up when I install ndisgtk, which makes it work incorrectly. I think I have the proper driver (I downloaded it from the linksys site. I have the one from the cd, but most of what I said suggested against using it). I have gcc installed and updated (so it tells me). There's a possibility I have not blacklisted something I need too... But I gave myself root access, and edited the blacklist file to block out wireless drivers (I think? I believe that's what the walkthrough I was reading told me to do. It's on WifiDocs? I can't link to it yet.)

I have tried to do it all myself, and I have managed a couple things so far, but I only ever began touching Linux about... 4 days ago? Tops. I would really appreciate anyone's help.
XD

So what I am specifically asking is, can someone identify where I am going wrong, and tell/point me something to fix it? My goal is to install the wireless driver.

Then my housemates got a new router and switched our wireless SSID & password. In network manager, I can see the SSIDs, but when I try to connect to our SSID, it continues trying to connect but never does connect. Something related to the router change and router firmware upgrade created this problem and i'm sure i need to fix it on my computer. All my windows7 flatmates are connecting with no problem. Right now I'm using my laptop, so i can't copy & paste results from terminal commands,

Networking :: WPA2 Network - Ndiswrapper Wireless - Ubuntu 9.04 - Reset Router To Get Online

Apr 1, 2010

I've been having a network problem that I've been able to temporarily solve by rebooting the router, but even that can be shaky at times, and it can sometimes disturb others' internet activites, so I'd really like to tackle this while I can. I had an old thread about this, but it's ancient history by now, and plus which, I've got a bit more Linux experience and patience than I did before.

The basic problem is that NetworkManager will associate and connect to my home wireless network, but a) it won't let me ping the router or anywhere else ("Destination Host Unreachable"), and b) the connection lasts for maybe a couple minutes at most. If I reset the router, however, 9 times out of 10 it will associate and connect successfully and I can get online, but I have to run a constant ping to the router with a 10-second interval, otherwise it drops the connection, unless I'm doing a lot of other heavy network activity.

ping 192.168.1.1 (the router):

Code:

I've tried wpa_supplicant, but this is what I get (it's apparently unsuccessful...? ESSID/MAC addresses censored where necessary):

Code:

The last prompt line is included because I cancelled it myself; it didn't abort on its own. If left unmonitored, it basically keeps doing this over and over, with no visible network activity at all.

With NetworkManager, I can keep selecting the network's ESSID over and over, and it seems to reconnect, but I still can't ping out anywhere. I'm using a Netgear WN111v1 wireless adapter with ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers. I have no idea what the chipset is, and I doubt that Linux drivers exist for it, even if I knew what it was. The router is using WPA2 security (hence my trying wpa_supplicant)

lsusb:

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 (while connected; IP/MAC addresses censored where needed):

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 (while not connected; IP/MAC addresses censored where needed):

Code:

Code:

I only include this for format checking purposes. The commented out "psk" is the actual text passphrase, while the uncommented one is (presumably) a hex representation of the same key. Is this correct? I've never done this with wpa_supplicant before, I've only used NetworkManager (which is a pain in the @$$ because it requires X to run, and so it disconnects any time I log out/back in ).

Is there any hope of getting my wireless connection permanently working, so that I don't have to reset the router every time I need to reboot or log out/back in?

Ubuntu Networking :: No Driver Claimed In Ndiswrapper - Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter?

Feb 26, 2010

I recently switched from Windows XP to a clean install Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 but it seems to be quite a problem to get the wifi up and running. In Windows the nearby network all appeared in network connections but the same section in Ubuntu is empty. So I decided to go with the ndiswrapper guide to solve the problem with an unclaimed driver. After an entire day messing with my computer I'm still not close... Below follows excerpts taken from the Ndiswrapper guide with posted results from my computer. "ndiswrapper won't work until it thinks that your Windows drivers have been properly installed and that they are the appropriate ones for your wireless card. You can run the command: ndiswrapper -l"

result:

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
net5211 : driver installed
device (168C:0013) present (alternate driver: ath5k)

So I've posted the result the name of my wireless card below: lspci -nn

Result:

00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN333/CN400/PM880 Host Bridge [1106:0259]
00:00.1 Host bridge [0600]: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN333/CN400/PM880 Host Bridge [1106:1259]

[code]...

It seems like the network is disabled or unclaimed or both. What to do? I'm stuck after spending an entire day trying to install the wifi. I had no problems in Windows XP but it seems to be quite impossible in Ubuntu.
