View 1 RepliesI have a problem installing mi dlink dlw-g122 wireless usb adapter.I installed the drivers, in fact when executing
ndiswrapper -l
the output is
dr71wu driver present, hardware present
but when I try to execute
modprobe ndiswrapper
I have this error:
FATAL : Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.12.9-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permetted
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.

So I have installed Ubuntu on my desktop, I have a wireless card that I know works w/ ndiswrapper and the INF/sys files I have, but I have no way of getting connecte to the internet (Ethernet requires and update) . So, My question is, Can I install Ndiswrapper w/o an internet connection (maybe put it on a CD or Flashdrive?).

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.
I've tried to install ndiswrapper on Backtrack 4 R2 (without internet connection) but I've got a few errors, and I've googled them but nothing helped (error log is attached)And I have one more question, is it true that when I use ndiswrapper for my wirelles usb I wouldn't be able to crack WEP and other encriptions ?

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.

I really wanted to try out Fedora 12, but my workstation does not have a LAN available so I am using a usb-dongle - netgear wg111v2. My problem with Fedora is that it doesn't install ndiswrapper or maybe I just didn't see it. How do I install ndiswrapper when I cannot connect my workstation to internet?
View 12 Replies View RelatedOriginally I used YAST's Software Packages to download and install ndiswrapper so that I can set up my Netgear wn511TA wireless card to work with GNOME openSUSE 11.2 default (2.6.31.8-0.1-default). I followed the guide in Ndiswrapper - openSUSE. I almost got it then was thrown off course by Network Manager. Now, back to square one. 1. Software Management shows 3 installed packages: ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper-kmp default and ndiswrapper desktop. Which of these should I run in order to install the Windows .INF driver file?
e.g. <ndiswrapper> -i <windriver.inf>
or <ndiswrapper-kmp-default> -i <windriver.inf>
The reason for this is when I modprobe <ndiswrapper(?)>, I got: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31.8-0.1-default/modules.dep: No such file or directory. /etc/lib/modules is blank but home/user/lib/modules has the default 2.6.31.8-0.1-default module.
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 just started using Linux, more specifically the Ubuntu distribution, earlier today. I am attempting, and failing, at setting up my wireless with a usb device. My device is on the list of those supported, and I am trying to install ndiswrapper so that I can use the windows drivers. My problem is, my access is restricted. I can not save to anywhere on my File System. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

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..."

I built a new pc and want to have Suse again. Unfortunately Suse installation does not recognize my CD/DVD device. So I boot from DVD select installation and a few moments later there's a popup 'make sure cd number 1 is in your drive'. I also did try to load other kernel modules but nothing helps. The only drive which is always recognized is floppy drive.
Here are some details about my system: Asrock P55M Pro board, Intel P55 chipset, 2 SATA HDD's, IDE NEC 2510 DVD writer, BIOS is set to AHCI due to Windows.
I tried following:
Use Suse DVD 11.0, 11.2, x86 or x64
Set BIOS to AHCI, IDE (compatible), IDE (enhanced)
DVD writer NEC was used in my former pc and did install 11.0 without probs.
Installing from HDD is new to 11.2 thus I copied the DVD to a directory. During Installation I can select the correct partition but suse is not able to find repositories.(?)
Total newbie here. Just installed 11.04 alongside WinXP on an older eMachine. The pc has built in DVD/CD burner/player and CD player and Canon (i860) printer on USB. Frankly I don't know exactly what I've done so far, but my wireless connection is great, screen, keyboard, mouse are great. FireFox runs super. I am now on information overload after reading any number of posts. I am looking for real simple and direct So how do I get Ubuntu to now 'see' the printer and dvd and cd arrangement?

I have tried to install Ubuntu with this CD and it gets past the keyboard detection part and then it tells me i need to get the CD ROM drivers via removable media, i know this is a problem with ubuntu 10.04 because i can install just fine a 8.04 ubuntu.
i don't know what to do.I have tried to install from a USB but my comp is too old for that, i know its not the specific cd because i'v used about 5 different brands of cd just to see if it was the cds i was uesing,
I would just upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 but i get to the dbus part and the comp starts to run really slowly and eventually colors just show up, i left it for an hour to see if they would go away and fix but they didn't. Iknow my comp CAN run 10.04 because i have done it before, but i uninstalled and now i can't seem to get it to work again.
P.S. i have tried the live cd, same effect.
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
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two hard drives, a 320GB and a 1.5TB. The first hard drive has two windows partitions. The first one is the main vista partition and the second one is one for factory restore (its an HP pavilion).
So wanted to install both ubuntu and ubuntu studio on the second hard drive, so I allocated about 1TB as an ntfs partition that I wanted to be accessible by both vista and ubuntu. So I have 400GB left for both distros. I have partitioned off two 40GB partitions for the two roots and I'm sharing one large home parititon and I put a swap partition at the end of the disk.
After I got through the second installation (ubuntu studio) vista no longer recognised the ntfs partition on the second disk. I thought maybe the install botched the boot sector, so I used testdisk to try to fix it, but it hasn't done any good. I do not want to format the second drive again because I have data on there I transferred over from an old hard drive before I installed ubuntu.
I tried to 'initialise' the disk in vista, but that just wiped the partition table so I had to fix that with testdisk on a live cd
Does anyone have any idea how i could possibly fix this problem or what winblows is thinking? I want to be able to read the partition in windows.

I've been trying to do this forever, and I just can't seem to get the system to recognize the install and boot from it. Do I need to create a very small bootstrap partition or something?Just for clarification, I've tried installing to the onboard ide controller as well as the raid controller. Both installed, but failed to be picked up on boot. The system only seems to be able to boot from cd. Furthermore, I can't seem to use the CD to boot from the hard disk.

I can't get online to check for packages until I can install the software.
It is Verizon PC5740. Can I download to the computer I am using now (windows) and then to a thumb drive or a cd or something. Or do I have to wait to get to where I can get online thru my wireless connection. This is all very new and I am trying to learn.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and would like to use my SIIG USB SoundWave 7.1 Pro that I used before in with my Windows 7. Can I still use this on Ubuntu? When I plug it in, Ubuntu does not recognize it. I looked up the drivers from SIIG but they do not mention Linux as being supported.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Intel MB (855GME with 6300ESB) that I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 9.0.4 on. It will install to a SATA drive but for various reasons I need to install on IDE (PATA on 6300ESB). The install fails to find any ide drive (I know the drive/interface works because I can install XP on this same ide drive). If I boot Ubuntu from the DVD (on USB) and open a terminal window and parse the dmesg output I see the message "pata_acpi :xxx device not available because of BAR 2 collisions". I'm trying to determine if there's some workaround for this. I've tried various kernel parameters and no joy.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a working installation of OpenSuse 11.2 on a 300GB eSATA drive, /dev/sdb. I have a 200GB IDE drive, /dev/sda that I use as a data drive. Both drives are accessible to 11.2 and in use.
/Dev/sdb is actually an IDE drive with an eSata adapter since my mother board only has one IDE ribbon input that I use for /dev/sda and the DVDRW drive.
I chose to install OpenSuse 11.3 on /dev/sda in partition sda1. I've installed 32 bit and 64 bit with the same result. I put grub on the the sda1 partition and chainload to it from 11.2 grub. I'm cautious because OpenSuse can be troublesome during installation.
PROBLEM: The installed system will not recognize the second drive /dev/sdb or any of its partitions. It does not show up on /var/log/messages -- it does not exist!
I believe this problem is with 11.3 because 11.2 recognizes both disks. Perhaps support of eSATA drives.
