Guys, As I mentioned on an email I sent just to David after I sent this message to him, I was confused the version.h file is in fact there.
I was able to compile ndiswrapper and install it. I now have a file called /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc/ndiswrapper.o The problem I am facing now is that "modprobe ndiswrapper" doesn't seem to find it. I says that it can't locate module ndiswrapper. Any hints? As always, thanks in advance. -Marvin ----- Mensaje Original ----- De: David Fokkema <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fecha: Miercoles, Junio 16, 2004 9:03 am Asunto: Re: ndiswrapper as a module > On Wed, Jun 16, 2004 at 08:18:47AM -0600, Marvin Gerardo Aguero > Salazar wrote: > > Hi David, > > > > I was so exhited when I read your mail that got me thinking > everything> was going to work just fine.
