devries Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Ndiswrapper is a driver (sort off). Drivers are called modules in Linux. You can configure the drivers with the Mandriva Control Center or by editing config files. You can 'load' them with the modprobe command (not neccesary with the MCC). First try the MCC and setup a new internet connection. If that doesn't work read the topic in the tips and tricks forum about ndiswrapper.

theYinYeti Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 As root, you do this: # cd /path/to/where/the.inf/file/is/ # ndiswrapper -i ./WMP11NDS.inf # echo 'alias wlan0 ndiswrapper' >>/etc/modprobe.conf # cat >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 <<-END DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp WIRELESS=yes ONBOOT=no END Then in Mandriva Control Center, you reconfigure the wlan0 connexion to fit your needs.
