ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 not installing

[Hexifford]

Whenever I try to install the .DEB file that I get from the Ubuntu site, it says something about an 'invalid i386 architecture' or something.

Help. Why is this happening.

Some of the latest kernels broke ndiswrapper, and you need to compile ndiswrapper from source after applying a patch to the source code. I suspect this might be the case.

Just to confirm, are you sure you need ndiswrapper? What wireless chipset do you have?

Execute "uname -m" and see whether the output is i386.
If it's not, you are trying to install a package with the wrong architecture.

I figured it out, I just downloaded the AMD64 stuff instead.
