The version in the repositories is 1.1 which is a bit outdated. So I decided to update it to a current version. I hope it may help someone. This HOWTO is based on ndiswrapper Wiki Page
1. Install kernel headers:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
and dependencies:
Code:
sudo apt-get install dh-make fakeroot gcc-3.4 build-essential
2. Download the current version of ndiswrapper from here
3. Untar
Code:
tar xvfz ndiswrapper-[current version].tar.gz
cd ndiswrapper-[current version]
4. Build deb packages:
Code:
fakeroot debian/rules binary-modules
fakeroot debian/rules binary-utils
cd ..
5. Install
Code:
sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-modules-[your kernel]_[current version]-1_i386.deb ndiswrapper-utils_[current version]-1_i386.deb
That's it. I installed it over an old version available from repositories but if you want to do a clean install then uninstall the previous version and remove old dirs:
Code:
sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils
sudo rm -r /etc/ndiswrapper/
sudo rm -r /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
Taken from ihavenoname's post here
I may have left some dependencies, since I did not have a fresh Breezy installation.
