Ubuntu :: Get Ndiswrapper Without Internet And Installed The Driver?
Jul 31, 2010
I just installed ubuntu on my hp desktop that has wireless built in. I finally found the windows inf and sys driver files, and learned how to get ndiswrapper without internet and installed the driver. It says that i have the hardware it controls, but when I look at the connection icon, it says not connected, has lost the wireless connection block, and I am not connected to the internet. The wireless is called USB Wireless 802.11 b/g , but it is not usb and is plugged straight into the motherboard with the only physical part is the antenna. Why can't I connect?

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.

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 am very new to Ubuntu and if I could get internet I'm sure I would love it as it appears very speedy! I don't want to resort to reloading Windows just because of this!I've managed to install the RT2870.inf driver for my Belkin wireless adaptor but couldn't install the sys file. Hence my adaptor still won't work - well I think this is why but hoping someone can enlighten me step by step.

I have no internet available, but the driver seems to be installed (kernel driver r8169). I'll follow the steps for posting on the wireless forum this time:
1) I'm using a desktop. Intel Core i7-870 2.93Ghz 8md Quad Core. Motherboard is an ASRock H55M-LE LGA1156. 4GB RAM DDR3.
2) The wireless card is:

I have an Acer Aspire One D255 netbook with opensuse 11.3 installed and after several painstaking days of tinkering I successfully installed the broadcom wl drivers, and now my wifi card is operational. However, i can connect to my wireless network, but still have no internet access. I have searched the forums and google for a solution but most issues I have found that are similar to mine have been resolved once the wl drivers and firmware where installed

The problem: I am a poor man who until today was running WinXP on AMD64 using an old usb wireless wusb11v4 adapter (32 bit drivers). I have recently installed the Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 release. But I cannot use ndiswrapper to load my 32 bit wusb11v4 driver because of the 64 bit os vs the 32 bit driver. I can hardly buy a new wireless adapter. But I do not see an AMD32 bit release.

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.)

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.

I just installed ndiswrapper so I wouldn't have to deal with it. Thing is, I'm not fairly certain my driver is one of the ones ubunutu comes with. I removed ndiswrapper (from the add/remove section, not sure if thats a full uninstall or if I should of used terminal), but my driver is still listed as "ndiswrapper". How do I completely remove that, so my system can use default drivers?

I am trying to use ndiswrapper for an .inf file located a /home/user/downloads
The full path would then be the file at the end correct?
/home/user/downloads/netr28u.inf
I keep getting the error that couldn't open /home.user/downloads/netr28u.inf: no such file at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 Line 219

We have a Lynksys wmp300n networking card and wants it to work with her new 64-bit system (Ubuntu 9.10). One of the files needed to use it in ndiswrapper was not on her CD and isn't available from their web site. After a few days, I found a Compaq driver .exe that contains the file and thought I was home free. The problem now is that I can't make the broadcom driver the system defaulted to to stop being used. My steps were:
sudo apt-get install network-manager
sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/bcmwl5.inf
***//got a -> couldn't find "BCMWL564.SYS"
sudo ndiswrapper -r bcml5
***//got the sys file from a divers for a Compaq card I found a link to
sudo ndiswrapper -l
***//got nothing back
sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/bcmwl5.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -l
[Code]....
* Now at this point I don't understand why the b43-pci-bridge driver is still being used nor what to do about it. Edit-> Not sure why it added asterisks in place of my false spaces that I used for indentation, but I can't seem to make it stop replacing them (or stop deleting normal spaces or ignoring and not rendering tabs).

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.

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 was able to successfully put together the driver with the Linksys WUSB100 v2 using ndiswrapper.
Here is what i get from ndiswrapper -l: rt2870: driver installed device (1737:0078) present (alternate driver: rt2870sta)But, the catch is where it maps to: ra0 instead of wlan0. This has caused me problems in order to get it to connect through network-manager or in the terminal.
ifconfig output for ra0:
ra0:

I have lenovo g560 laptop with bcm4313 wireless adaptor, and i want to change it to monitor mode using ndiswrapper with bcmwl5 driver. The kernel installed in my laptop is 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686, and the version of ndiswrapper is 1.54-4.fc13.29.i686. The problem is that i can't use any ndiswrapper options:
[root@localhost admin]# ndiswrapper -l
bash: ndiswrapper: command not found
is it the kernel that cause this problem?, if not i wants to know how to solve it.

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?

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.

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.

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 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 an Airgo agn100 working in Ubuntu 10.10, 32 bit using this guide and ndiswrapper. I'm OK down to part 2, line 5. When I run "ndiswrapper -l" it returns "ndiswrapper is not installed. You can get it by typing apt-get install ndiswrapper" And of course, when I type that, it fails. I have a Directory for ndiswrapper my home directory, as well as a directory for the belkin pre-n driver that the Airlink needs. How can I get the terminal to "see" ndiswrapper?
