Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Install Ndiswrapper For The Love Of Life?
Jul 21, 2010
I've usually never had much of a problem setting up wireless with ndiswrapper and ubuntu. I decided to give KUduntu a try, and for the love of me I cannot install ndiswrapper:
Code:
Reading package lists Done Building dependency tree Reading state information Done Package ndiswrapper-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However, the following packages replace it: ndiswrapper-common E: Package ndiswrapper-utils has no installation candidate I'm pretty sure I've added all the repositories in the sources. What am I doing wrong?

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've just plugged my old ubuntu 8.04 drive which used to run on an amd dual core 64 bit machine onto into my new intel duo core 64-Bit box. uname -a gives:Linux aegis 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP mon Nov 24 19:35:06 UTC 2008 X86_64 Gnu/Linux. what i'm aiming to do is install the netgear wg311v3 wireless card drivers using ndiswrapper. The ubuntu box is currently offline and i've gone to URL...
my question is can I download and safely install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.54-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb or is there an intel specific package that I should be looking for?

I am trying to install ndiswrapper for a netgear wna1100. My nic card is fried so the only way I can use the Internet is with the USB card. I am running fedora core 13 on an older Dell computer.

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.

I have an Asus Eee PC with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Unity). The other day, I turned off the wireless using the keyboard shortcut to save battery life when I was somewhere without wireless, but now it's not turning back on. I tried restarting, I've done the keyboard shortcut several times, and it still just says "disconnected" for wireless and wired, even though there are several wireless networks around me right now. There aren't any options in Network Connections or Network Tools to turn on the wireless. Is there a way to manually turn it back on?

I'm currently using Ndiswrapper for my wireless usb card that uses the RTL8187B Chipset on Ubuntu 8.04. To get myself to connect I have to run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" everytime. Is there a way I can connect automatically?

I have Ubuntu 9.10. My USB WG111v3 Wireless Card uses the rtl8187 driver. This driver is buggy. I would like to use Ndiswrapper instead. How to make it so Ubuntu doesn't load the rtl8187 driver but Ndiswrapper instead?

So after a quick look around the forums, I haven't seen anything on removing ndiswrapper. What I have done is removed ndiswrapper via synaptic. Now in order to start my wireless card I have to issue:
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ath9k
ifconfig wlan0 up
Basically this is a pain. Does anyone know how to get rid of ndiswrapper completely and set things up to use ath9k automatically?

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 to run a Minecraft Server. Now against better judgement and seeing that it is only for 7 people, I decided to use a wireless usb card to connect to the internet. Well, I was told that I was going to have to install ndiswrapper. I downloaded it on my Mac and used a USB drive to transfer it to my desktop. I then double clicked and extracted. I then did this in the terminal:
Code:
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details.

1: how do you install the ndiswrapper GUI? since i'm coming from a windows background, a little visual would help me out alot. also, whenever i type in "su - yum install kmod-ndiswrapper" it says its setting up the install process, then it says, "no package kmod-ndiswrapper, nothing to do" i have RPMfusion free/nonfree repos installed along with livna repos. can somebody tell me what's wrong?
2: for whatever reason, whenever i plug in my wireless card, i works for about 10 mins. or so, then if i have in my corded optical mouse plugged in, everything goes wrong. first the mouse starts moving in frame by frame, but when i use the built in trackpad it works fine, stranger even is that i can move my mouse around, but whenever i click on something, it doesn't respond. it doesn't ever do this when i use the ethernet port.

My wireless card (an Atheros AR928x) was not performing very well. At the suggestion of a friend I tried to use NDISWrapper (using the ndisgtk GUI interface) to see if a Windows driver would work better. I found the XP drivers online, tried several versions and, after none worked, I decided that I might as well settle with the crappy quality of the Linux driver and let it go. Sadly, that may not be possible.
I removed the drivers (again via ndisgtk) and now the laptop can't use the card at all. It won't detect any networks (even when just five feet from the router) and I'm not sure what's causing this. I've tried rebooting and rebooting into an older kernel. I checked lspci and it still recognizes the card.
Any idea what's up and how I could fix it?

I have tried to get ndiswrapper to work on an ubuntu 9.04 32 bit system but have yet to succeed. After installing the windows driver, the usb wireless network adapter is recognized but will never connect to the internet. I have disabled the driver included with jaunty. Now what makes this strange (at least to me) is that ndiswrapper works perfectly with ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. It could very well be something that I am not doing in the 32 bit system (but I don't know what that might be).
I have tried ndiswrapper with several other distros with the same result. So, I don't think it is specifically related to ubuntu however, since ubuntu is what I am using, I am posting in this forum hoping that someone might be able to help me. I have several 32 bit machines I would like to set up but cannot until I get this resolved. I have also tried downloading and compiling a native driver with no success either. Anyway, here is my setup:
PC with AMD64 dual core processors running at 2Ghz and 3 GB ram.
Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless Router
Belkin N150 Enhanced Wireless USB Network Adapter
And an aside: I am using WICD network manager and would like to know what the tray icon means when it says it is connected at say 54%. My question is, 54% of what? In windows this info is given in Mbps which is more meaningful.

I had been having problems with my Asus wireless card connecting to my router. Turns out, using ndiswrapper and the XP driver solved the issue. Based on my title of the thread, the driver worked, I turned off computer at night, next day, I can't seem to start the wireless driver again. How would I go about doing this? I am running Ubuntu 10.04, Asus PCE N13 wireless card.

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 can't seem to locate it at all. I'm running on windows vista.

Making wifi work with ndiswrapper disabled usb automount. This happened on several ubuntu versions, including 10.10.
After following the directions given in this post [URL] usb automounting stopped working.
I fixed it this way:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
Added these lines to the file:
Code:
usb_storage
usbhid
Save and exit, worked after reboot or restarting network.
usb automount troubles could also be related to legacy floppy settings in BIOS, see

I am trying to connect to my WEP enabled wireless network. I have a pci wireless card with chipset id 10ec:8190, and installed the driver (net8190p.inf) with ndiswrapper on Ubuntu Linux 8.10. I am able to connect when I disable WEP, so I'm sure that the driver is installed correctly and is working. I am connected now from XP with WEP enabled. How to get my Ubuntu distro connected here?
