Can't install ndiswrapper

[nibiru]

Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I'm completely new to linux, so I got stuck in first steps.

I've tried to install ndiswrapper (without internet connection) but I've got a few errors, and I've googled them but nothing helped:

And I have one more question, is it true that when I use ndiswrapper for my wirelles usb I wouldn't be able to crack WEP and other encriptions ?

As I recall ndiswrapper is in the repository, so you should be able to just use apt-get install ndiswrapper. I think there is even a gui for it(apt-get install ndiswrapper-gtk)? Anyway, also as memory serves, you would not be able to inject since ndiswrapper is really using the windows driver for the device to function.

As I already said I'm totally new to this, but I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that I must have internet connection in order to use apt-get install command.
Anyways, when I use it I get error:

apt-get install ndiswrapper
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper

And I would appreciate if you could suggest me to buy good wireless usb which will work in Linux without ndiswrapper (or is there some other solution?)

[iproute]

depends on where in the world you live regarding good usb wireless adapter. Stick with wireless G rather than N for best results and highest likeliehood for injection capability. Local retailers around me carry a particular belkin model that generally has the required chipset I've found. Again, key point being wireless G. If you need more range, think about directional anntenae of whatever type. But I digress....
