Problems with ndiswrapper

[G3n0cid3]

I tried to install my Netgear WG311v3 WLAN-card with ndiswrapper. But when I use modprobe ndiswrapper, i onlx get the error: FATAL: Module not found. But everything is installed, ndiswrapper, and the carddriver too. Only this command doesn´t work an i don´t know why. I used this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...tgear_WG311_v3

Its because ndiswrapper kernel module doesn't come with backtrack, so you must install ndiswrapper from source. This also happened to me...
Do the following:
-uninstall any ndiswrapper app you may have installed ( like ndiswrapper-common, ndisgtk... utils..)
-Download and extract ndiswrapper from official site Browse ndiswrapper Files on SourceForge.net
-then go to the folder and install using the commands:

make
make install
depmod -a  // refreshes all modules symbol links (shouldnt be needed)

Now you should be able to modprobe ndiswrapper

If you want to modprobe ndiswrapper every boot add a line in "/etc/modules" with "ndiswrapper".

Hi there, thanks for this tutorial.

I downloaded ndiswrapper from sourceforge but I have troubles when I try to run the makefile.

root@bt:/# cd '/root/ndiswrapper-1.56'
root@bt:~/ndiswrapper-1.56# make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/ndiswrapper-1.56/driver'
Makefile:34: *** Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux, is it configured?.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ndiswrapper-1.56/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2
root@bt:~/ndiswrapper-1.56#

I did some research on the "cannot find kernel version" error, and there was a thread where they did some kind of lzm2dir magic (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...81#post4222381) and it seemed to work out.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your patience with n00bs like me.

But that is BT3 and it doesn't seem to work for BT4.
