    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    Hello

    Thanks for the advices!

    ndiswrapper won't work until you tell the system not to use the module that's trying to claim the card. You can prevent the system from loading modules by adding them to '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.'
    In my /etc/modprobe.d/ folder there is only a file called "blacklist.config". Is it the same?

    fcsabihu: yes, in Ubuntu 9.04 and later, the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist has been replaced by /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. It still works the same--just add the name of the module you want to blacklist--but they changed the name of the file for some reason.

    Thanks for bringing attention to this. I'll update the tutorial to avoid future confusion.

    Post Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    Peace,
    Sorry for this reply, but I can't check this page after each step !! because I use UBUNTU live!!

    okay I hope you understand, I have Ubuntu 7 and 9

    I have huawei Model:E220 HSDPA USB Modem

    On ubuntu 7 I can see the driver on the desktop and can explore it
    but ubuntu 9 I can't even see the driver anywhere !!

    I checked and installed ndiswrapper on ubuntu 9, they were three ndis one is called 1.9, common and a graphical one I believe !!

    everything seems to be okay

    then went to Terminal and typed this:
    sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/drivers/drivername.inf
    I know that drivename.inf is considered my drive name
    but it shows me like a menu about something like ndiswrapper -i stands for ...
    ndiswrapper -a stands for ... etc

    I can't copy it since now I am using Vista

    okay then I typed:
    ndiswrapper -l
    this is a lower case L I know but it says no ndiswrapper command or something like this

    By the Way, when I click on the System | Administration | Windows wireless drivers

    I try to find the driver I can't as I told you at the beginning of this thread !!

    okay once I ran ubuntu 9 it pops up a dialog box about setting up a wireless connection
    I followed them but when I click on the icon of the connection ( on the upper right corner) it tries to connect but fails!!

    ______________

    ubuntu 7, the ndiswrapper is version 1.4 and no graphical ndis !!

    you know, I have no Linux experience at ALL!! I am just a starter

    so I am not good with this terminal stuff

    Regards

    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    Moh'd32: I don't think you can use ndiswrapper for your device. The E220 modem is different than a regular wireless card. However, I found instructions here that explain how to get the device working in Ubuntu. Please try following them.

    Also, if you're only using the live version of Ubuntu (meaning you're running it from the CD or a USB drive, and each time you reboot you lose all changes), that may not work; you may need to install permanently to disk to get your modem running.

    The program 'ndiswrapper' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
    apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
    bash: ndiswrapper: command not found
    I didn't do anything wrong, I swear...

    Re: Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide

    burtzacarach: is there a reason you're trying to compile ndiswrapper from source instead of just using the packages? The easiest way to install it is to type:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
    If you need to compile from source, make sure you're download the source code for version 1.55, the most recent version (versions 1.6 through 1.9 are actually older than 1.55). This version should compile. If not, let me know.
