imwithstupid Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I installed/compiled ndiswrapper .8 because it is recent and the directions in the ndiswrapper faq thread uses those commands. Then i ran the command ndiswrapper -i /home/me/driver/blahblach.INF and I got this warning about not having my .SYS file there. So I tried to uninstall the driver with the -e option but it wouldn't let me. It said that -e was not installed. So I got a hold of the .SYS file and tried reinstalling it but it says it is installed. In addition when I use ndiswrapper -l I get the following error: Can't use string (" ") as an ARRAY ref while "stric refs" in use at /usr/bin/sbin ndiswrapper line 324 <LS2> line 1. How do I fix this messed up configuration? Can i un-make install ndiswrapper, install it again and ndiswrapper -i the INF file properly?

Try putting the .sys file in that same folder and see if that works. Also, most programs that are installed from source can be uninstalled by typing make uninstall as root in the source folder.

imwithstupid Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 If I try what you said it tells me that the driver is already installed. So I will try make uninstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imwithstupid Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 tried what you said and it didn't uninstall. However, I did manually remove the realtek driver files and reinstalled the driver with the sys and inf files. This time, i got no errors. The rest: - ndiswrapper -l still coughs up the same error above. - another problem wlan0 does not exist...but i have a wireless entry in /proc/net - additionally harddrake tells me that my card is a admtek card but i have a xterasys XN-2411b which is definently a realtek card...and one supported by ndiswrapper...also just my luck the admtek driver location just won't load (dunno if the site is down or what) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
