Arvin Juan Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Your wireless card has a native Linux driver for it, as you have already been told in this post here. :) All you need to do is use the easyurpmi link in that post to set up urpmi, and be sure to add the plf-free and plf-non-free repos. Then in a terminal as root do urpmi dkms-ipw3945 or use the gui Software Installer and select dkms-ipw3945, it will install the other dependencies automatically. Then use the gui to set up you network connection. I got my wireless device working after your comment. Thanks to all those who helped.

Guest Bill S Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hello all, I am somewhat of a new linux user but have a question that I hope someone can answer. I am using a Compaq Presario 2500 notebook with a wireless card. Mandriva is detecting the card and I am using the ndiswrapper with no problem. (I'm using the wireless now). But as soon as I reboot, I have to reinstall the card all over again. How can I retain the settings permamently? Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 If I am not mistaken, I saw another user report the issuing the command ndiswrapper -ma solved that issue for him. I believe you need to be logged in as su to run the command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAB Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 When I got to the modprobe ndiswrapper command after modifying modprobe.conf with my particulars, I got the error loadndisdriver: main (544): version 1.9 doesn't match driver version /etc/ndiswrapper/wg311v3/wg311v3.inf What do I do now?
