Mandrake 10.0 Driveloader problems

**astro_9040** · 03-03-2005

i have mandrake linux 10.0 and am having trouble installing driveloader onto linux.I was currently using the automatic download to install driveloader so there wouldn't be any problems but when i get to the screen it ask me to upload my windows driver i run into problems. I load the .inf files and the .sys's files but it still wont recognize the device. Can someone help me out with this or recommend some other program to work with a Netgear WG511 v2 and i know it works cause im using it on xp also i am a linux newbie

What is the actual error message it's giving you?

**fomhoire** · 03-03-2005

just checking but did you make sure you were root before uploading the files?

its says
no devices found
it seems that your device is ither not present or not supported by the installed driver(s) either:
1.Plug-in your device and click refresh to retry OR
2.Upload a new driver using the upload windows driver button below

If your device still does not appear, please look at the kernel messages for possilbe clues and check that no conflicting kernel modules are loaded.

P.S. and i was logged in as root

Ok I figured out the problem and have the internet up and running

What fixed it (just so the next guy can solve his problem with a search)?

I solved it by going and downloading mdk 10.1 Official and had trouble installing my windows driver still but it recognized everthing else (except for the device), got the green light to come on, and now Im able to get on / off the internet also i got it to start when you boot up linux
