Package: debian-installer Version: debian-6.0.5-i386-cd1.iso Severity: important
The cd iso installer does not install ndiswrapper correctly. One problem (there may be more) is that the ndiswrapper.ko file is not installed. The problem is only with the full cd installer. Using a netinstall version e.g. debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso where ndiswrapper is downloaded over a wired internet connection installs ndiswrapper successfully. The problem seems to extend to other distributions which rely heavily on debian e.g. Linux Mint Debian Edition (linuxmint-201204-mate-cinnamon-dvd-32bit.iso) which also fails to install ndiswrapper.ko. The problem seems to have existed for a long time. I first encountered it several months ago and, then, I found several references to the problem on the internet. I gave up on debian in frustration because I could not get ndiswrapper to work and I needed a network connection to download ndiswrapper - which is what I needed ndiswrapper for!!!!!! -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (700, 'stable-updates'), (700, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
