I'm trying to install the driver for a network adapter that plugs into a USB socket. I couldn't get setup.exe to run properly, so I asked over here, and was told to use ndiswrapper. So now I have ndiswrapper-2.2.tar.gz on my computer, along with all the files extracted. I try to run
$ make rpm -f Makefile ndiswrapper2.2
but I keep getting "error 127" and "can't find rpmbuild". When I try to just run
$ make
I get "error 2".
Do I have to install rpmbuilder? If so, where can I find it?
It appears that you might just have to do that.Quote:

I'm assuming you have fedora so why don't you just compile it from source. You might need to get a 16 stack kernel.
I reinstalled Fedora as the "administrator" version instead of the "home" version, and it's compiled correctly.
How do you get a 16 stack kernel? I can't use the downloads available at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/p...dex.php/Fedora because my processor is i386 not i686.
On a similar topic, when I run $ iwconfig wlan0 for my wireless device it gives me a warning saying that it was compiled for version 18 while the driver was compiled for version 16. How can I rectify this issue?
You can fix the issue by down grading ndiswrapper or upgrade the wireless tools. As for the 16 stack kernel I'm not sure. I use a custom kernel with 8kb stack and it worked fine but I'm not running fedora. SO you might want to see if the fedora channel in irc gives you any help.
