Ndiswrapper... which version?

[Omar319]

Hi,

I'm trying to get wireless internet working on an old Windows 98 computer... it now has SuSE 10.1 which runs very well. But the problem I have is with ndiswrapper...Which version do I download to meet my kernel version?

I'm following the turorial here:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...ork-linux.html
but when it gets to the stage

make
make install

it comes up with the error saying that it can't find the kernel version or something similar.

The kernel version 2.6.16.13-4-default. Which version of ndiswrapper do I download for it?

Thanks,
Omar

I used the ndiswrapper delivered with SUSE.
To install it go to 'Yast/Software Management/' and check ndiswrapper.

if I remember right I did the following to commands:
ndiswrapper -i windowsdriver.INF
ndiswrapper -l
and after this I installed my networkcard in 'Yast/network devices' and everything works fine

use yast or smart to install it. It'll take care of all of that for you. it's included in your suse install dvd/cd's and the official suse update repositories.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.
I found it on one of the install CDs and installed it.
