ndiswrapper and the 2.6.13 kernel

tyler · 2005-10-16 23:12:46

The current ndiswrapper package 1.4-1 (Last Updated: Sat, 08 Oct 2005 00:32:51 -0400) does not work with the new 2.6.13 stock kernel. You should use the 1.4@051015 found here:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/snap … per.tar.gz

if you wish ndiswrapper to work with the new 2.6.13 arch stock kernel. I just upgraded everything on my laptop and the current stable version does not work, as it makes the kernel crash. Until the package is updated, just compile this version.

log in as root (su)

first uninstall the one you have

pacman -R ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-bin

the remove the config files

rm -R /ect/ndiswrapper

untar the archive and compile

tar xzvf ndiswrapper.tar.gz
cd ndiswrapper
make distclean
make
make install

reinstall your wireless drivers

ndiswrapper -i driver_file.inf

and check if they're installed

ndiswrapper -l

update the module dependencies

depmod -a

finally modprobe it

modprobe ndiswrapper

if the kernel does not crash, dance around and be merry.

Yeah the snapshot isn't versioned, so I had no choice. I'm hoping 1.5 (or 1.4.X) is released soon, as I don't like running the snapshot like that.

Heh, I use ndiswrapper 0.12, and it works perfectly with 2.6.13.. Maybe it's time to upgrade? *grin*

I use ndiswrapper 1.1 I installed from a coverdvd that was included with Linux Format.
