Hi, I have been trying to get an obscure PCMCIA card working under
ndiswrapper and I now have it recognised, but it doesn't connect. I
have discovered that the existing config files were for the usual
wireless device that I use and MAC address specific. I have moved them.
When I try and use the Windows Wireless Drivers program from the
menu, and select the configure driver option, it is greyed out and I
cannot use it. Any thoughts, aside from pulling back one of the other
configs and changing MAC address?
This is on an ancient x30 thinkpad running xUbuntu 12.04.
Thanks,
Peter M.

Have you tried setting up ndiswrapper from the command line? You'll
need the .inf and .sys windows driver files in the same directory.
Then to install the driver:
ndiswrapper -i /path/to/*.inf
To list any installed drivers:
ndiswrapper -l
To write the config files:
ndiswrapper -m
depmod -a
Then insert the module:
modprobe ndiswrapper
If all went well then it should have hopefully a wlan0 device to
configure.
Regards,
Dean
Interesting thanks. I have been doing things in different order, in my
ignorance. No, That is I have been not doing the first step(s).
Sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
But your very simple line "to write the config files" is my problem. Do
I have to create them by hand? I have bee trying to work with ndisgtk.
Cheers,
Peter
