Hi all, I installed the kernel successfully, whilst installing ndiswrapper, after what it seems to be an installation or extraction after using "make uninstall" in console, there is an error. and if i continue with "make" i get another error, as a result I cannot continue my installation. I hope this highlights certain issues that can be easily resolved. Thanks for your support all, Its really appreciated! Regards, Brendon

Thanks all that have helped :) I will post back if everything works out :) Regards, Brendon

Kernel Version Installed: 2.6.17-13mdv.i586 I have extracted ndiswrapper in my home directory using konsole, whilst being in home directory when using this change directory to cd /ndiswrapper-1.53 I get "bash: cd: /ndiswrapper-1.53: No such file or directory" Lol This is really frustrating! Lol I will get this dongle working :) Does any body know where I am going wrong at this point? Brendon

thanks for your reply {BBI}Nexus{BBI}, but im affraid this method has failed me, I get this error, "Some components (firmware) are required but aren't available for ndiswrapper hardware. Firmware files are required for this device. The required files can also be installed from this URL: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.netmediawik....php/list" I have the latest ndiswrapper but I am unsure how to install it :( Thanks in advance all for your help Brendon

I have had a look at Control Center and i cand find any WiFi configuration?

Im affraid not, I have tried pointing ndiswrapper to the wpn driver but it seems to fail. I have tried upgrading ndiswrapper but I failed again. Where would be the best place to copy files with mandriva because i cant seem to browse the desktop with konsole? Cheers the Yin Yeti Brendon

Hi all, I have just installed Mandrake 2007 on my sony vaio (PCG F809k) which has no ethernet adaptor. I do have a Netgear WPN111 USB WIFI adaptor and I have read here that people have managed to get it to work. The problem is, I am a complete novice when Linux OS is concerned and with a laptop that is completely isolated from the internet it is proving quite difficult. I have managed to download and copy on to my Mandriva desktop via Pen Drive "ndiswrapper-1.53.tar.gz" & "WPN111.tar.gz" I have read and believe I will need these. All I need now is a shove in the right direction (bearing in mind im a novice) on how to install this USB WIFI adaptor with Mandrake. Thanks in Advance, Regards, Brendon
