Can anyone decypher this for me?

I don't think many people could.... That hurt my eyes...

uhmmmm.

can't you just go into the bash shell and type

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ?

either that or sudo apt-get install synaptic(s?)  once synpatic is installed, just open it and search for ndis wrapper.  you shouldn't have to compile it yourself.  it's always a bitch to compile programs.

all i get from that is error error error error warning warning warning warning error error warning...but i just scrolled really fast. i'm sorry, i'm useless when it comes to tech stuff, but that was just a lot of code.

yeah if you download the actual tar.gz file then you can follow the instructions to compile/install it but that's a hugeee hassle.  most programs have already been put into an installer-type file that's easy to run and is acessible from either of the methods that i showed you.  you got it working?

Not yet, Ive been using my ps3 or my parents comp to get on. What kind of files does linux have for autoinstall?


-- Posted by Macropiper at 1:26 pm on April 15, 2008

Ubuntu uses deb packages, but you are better connecting it to the router using ethernet cable to update it than downloading the packages you need one by one.

Once you have an internet connection, open Synaptic and search for and install Ndiswrapper, Synaptic will then download it and all its dependencies and install them.

Although, it is best to avoid using Ndiswrapper if you can, what sort of wireless network card do you have?


-- Posted by climber783 at 1:27 pm on April 15, 2008

It depends on each distro, but ubuntu has a long list of repositories available for install.

Here is a walkthrough of how to get NDISwrapper, definitely check this page out, if you haven't already.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

If that one doesn't help much, here is another much more detailed, easy to understand walkthrough as well.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide/

In ubuntu, I think there should be some sort of command along the lines of sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper...might not be exactly that though.  Search ubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org for more detailed tech advice.
