Qchem Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Is this a wired or wireless adaptor? If the latter, check out the articles on ndiswrapper in tips and tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragon36 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) It Is a Wireless Usb Adapter I Thought I Tried Ndiswrapper And Got It But There Are So Many Guides On How To Do It I Don't Know Which One Is The Right One To Use!!!!

ianw1974 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 The best guides I've followed are here: Main Page - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...x.php/Main_Page Installation - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...hp/Installation If having problems, make sure you're access point is not secured with WPA etc, so that it's completely open. Test and see if it's all working, then secure it and then make small changes to allow your connection to work with the security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Save into a text file, and then to floppy disk, then you can access through Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragon36 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 well there was no way for me to save it as a text file so the only other way i thought i could do it is through a screenshot so here it is thatnks for all your help so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I don't tend to do it this way, I do it all from the CLI prompt using the document links I gave you previously. I've no idea on this error message or to suggest where you go next, but try using the CLI terminal instead. Or if you have already done this, hopefully someone will be able to suggest something else regarding this error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
