Netgear WNA3100 issues

[Oasix]

Hi guys,

thank you so much for your help.
I was able to install 64bit driver on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

I downloaded the driver from the link below and followed your instructions

Thanks again
Ciao

Oasix, you have internet with your 64bit system now?
Thats pretty remarkable, well done on getting it to work.

I know I probably shouldn't ask a further question on this thread, but I have a new kernel and when I run

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

to connect to the net it says

FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

now with some of the older kernels I could just copy the ndiswrapper.ko file from the directory and put it in the corresponding place in the new kernel i.e. /lib/modules/KERNEL_NAME/misc/ndiswrapper.ko and it would work....But with the newer kernels it doesn't work. Is there a way to get modprobe to find ndiswrapper?

Please do:

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Any improvement?

Recently, I upgraded to quantal quetzal, for the improved graphics drivers, after being told it was relatively stable.
However, when I try to install ndiswrapper-dkms I get a compiler error:

/var/lib/dkms/ndiswrapper/1.57/build/ndis.c:2657:24: error: 'struct kernel_stat' has no member named 'cpustat'

Should I build ndiswrapper-dkms from source?

I don't believe ndiswrapper is yet optimized for 12.10. So yes; build from source. If you need assistance, please post back.

Hi,
After some googling, I discovered that to build ndiswrapper-dkms from source is equivalent to building ndiswrapper from source, however I get teh same error as last time:

 error: 'struct kernel_stat' has no member named 'cpustat'

What should I do to circumvent this issue?

Nothing, probably. I get:

/home/chili/ndiswrapper-1.57/driver/ndis.c: In function ‘NdisGetCurrentProcessorCounts’:
/home/chili/ndiswrapper-1.57/driver/ndis.c:2657:24: error: ‘struct kernel_stat’ has no member named ‘cpustat’

make[3]: *** [/home/chili/ndiswrapper-1.57/driver/ndis.o] Error 1

And I Google: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...r/+bug/1023645

You'll probably have better luck with ndiswrapper-1.58rc1. It 'makes' for me without error or warning on kernel 3.4.0-030400-generic-pae.

Thanks, 1.58rc1 now builds and I have installed it, and even better

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

doesn't throw any errors and I can now connect to the net... Thanks very much again for getting my 'stick sorted....

Awesome! Glad it's working. You will have helped some searchers, too.
