Compile Ndiswrapper

[RobinVossen]

Well, I just installed Debian net-inst yesterday and I still dont have inet.
So I asked around and I had to compile ndiswrapper by source to beable to modprobe it.
So, I download the source and read the install file.
And there I read

Prerequisites
=============

You need a recent kernel, at least 2.6.6 or 2.4.26, with header files
for the kernel. Make sure there is a link to the kernel source from
the modules directory. The command

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

should have at least 'include' directory and '.config' file.

And well, I dont have the build folder.
What do I have to apt-get to get the build folder..
Please keep in mind I installed using the DVDs. I dont have a inet connection on Debian what so ever.

Thanks alot. Cheers, Robin

You probably need to install the kernel source that matches the version of the kernel you are running.

[RobinVossen]

apt-get install kernel-sources should do it then?

[daark.child]

I think that should do. If that does not work, try using a version number e.g. kernel-source-2.6.6.

I did install the following packages linux-source-<number>
and bad luck, the file was not there. I also did get kernel-ndiswrapper.
Bad luck again.
So, well what package do I need?

[daark.child]

According to the Debian packages site , the package is called kernel-source. Did you try "apt-get install ndiswrapper"? The package is not named kernel-ndiswrapper.

[RobinVossen]

I installed it.
I had to ues m-i i-a
What ever that is.

But it works

I run Linux now ^^

Now all I have to do Is make it look nice. (it looks like crap)
And make inet work at default instead of modprobing everutime and then connecting
I know how to do both do ^^
