ndiswrapper does not exist on my system

[Heresy64]

Am I the only poor sap that cannot find ndiswrapper on my system. I'm trying to install a wireless adapter and need ndiswrapper to do so. However, whenever I attempt to follow instructions posted on how to do it, the program does not exist. I can't find it in the synaptic package manager and it is not listed in programs to add. I think I must have gotten a defective install! . More likely is that I'm doing something wrong, which is too bad because I was having no problems with my Ubuntu install until now.

locate ndiswrapper

As far as I know, you need to install ndiswrapper--it doesn't come with Ubuntu by default.

Ok try this...

download ndiswrapper and save to your Home folder.

http://wifix.sourceforge.net/software.php?title=ndiswrapper

Then open the terminal:

tar xvf ndiswrapper-1.51.tar.gz

pushd ndiswrapper-1.51

sudo make uninstall

make

sudo make install

popd

Then Ndiswrapper should be installed.
