LUG Meetings

Meet up with Montana Linux people on IRC. We currently gather at the #ubuntu-montana room on the freenode network. Stop in and say "hello" or even ask/answer some questions. Don't have to be a Ubuntu user either. Or use the web-based chat client.

install wireless card

Submitted by peacockridge on Thu, 2008-01-10 13:54.

I recently installed ubuntu 7.04 on my laptop and now I am trying to install my netgear wireless card - wg511v2. I have downloaded instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#head-0175516fa66edf5e205f179c0fddd719c0719dc7 but they don't make much sence to me. Can anyone help?

Ndis Wrapper

Submitted by dan (not verified) on Thu, 2008-01-10 14:25.

The main thing is to find the windows driver that is best for your laptop. You need both the my_wireless_card.sys and my_wireless_card.inf of the windows drivers.

Then on the command line terminal type:

sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/where/you/will/find/my_wireless_card.inf

Then from the command line check if it installed correctly:

ndiswrapper -l

If installed correctly it will give a description of your card or chipset.
