[Solved] can't build ndiswrapper, missing ndiswrapper-utils

EDIT: ndiswrapper-utils is now in AUR too, so this problem is moot

I'm trying to build ndiswrapper to support a  'new' (old, but just installed in this box) wireless card, but I don't have ndiswrapper-utils. Since this is the first time I've tried setting ndiswrapper up on any Arch box, I don't have a old .pkg to copy over and 'pacman -U', and I haven't found any other way to get the package in question.

lspci shows the card as (if anyone knows of another driver to try)

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

should I just build the entire thing from upstream source?

The old ndiswrapper is there too: http://arm.konnichi.com/search/index.ph … ommunity=1

As for the current kernel - I don't know, maybe it's a bug: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49709 is the package that used to be in the repos and it does mention ndiswrapper-utils in the dependencies.

Thank you! That looks like it'll work, I'll try it tomorrow.

ndiswrapper-utils are now available in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49935 - you can try them too :-)

Took longer to get back to that project, but that download did it.
Still had a hell of a time getting the card to connect (had to install wicd), but I suspect that's the Windows driver's fault.

Thanks again. (marking solved)
