Hi Marvin, It seems to me that you are building the modules by hand, option four in /usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper-source/README.Debian. You did read that file, right? The first option is the most preferable, although it needs you to learn make-kpkg. Not too hard, but I get the feeling you just want to get your card running as soon as possible. Well, then... for the manual build: Enter you kernel source directory, copy your /boot/config-kernelversion to .config and do a `make oldconfig && make dep'. This will make your kernel source configured for your current configuration, just as if you were about to compile a new kernel. You don't need to, of course, but now you have your version.h sitting in the right place, :-) Good luck, David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
