Here is what I did to get a netgear to work perfectly with ndiwrapper NdisWrapper
NdisWrapper will use Native Windows Drivers (.INF) on/under/for/with Linux I have only done this with the 2.6 kernel, never 2.4. I also indicate the rev's I used, you may find different revisions. 1 Get the source ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/1 cd /usr/local/src mkdir ndis;cd ndsi download the ndiswrapper-1.9.tar.gz gunzip ndiswrapper-1.9.tar.gz tar -xvf ndiswrapper-1.9.tar.gz make distclean make make install -- OR -- apt-get install ndiswrapper-source # Source for the ndiswrapper linux kernel module apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils # Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper The following is also need to process the windriver.inf file apt-get install zip # for win zip'd files apt-get install unzip # for win zip'd files apt-get install unshield # for win .cab files Might also need kernel headers (correct for your cpu, etc.) apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386 Get the Windows Driver you want to use Download the driver unzip driver.zip unshield -d x cabfile.cab find the driver.inf to use ndsiwrapper -i driver.inf ndsiwrapper -l should report on sw and hw SO have the h/w hookedup and powered ndsiwrapper -m depmod -a modprobe ndsiwrapper configure the h/w as needed. I offer as an example some detail on install/config for a Netgear WG111 V2 Wifi Fob. from the website: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation#Compile_ and_install I used some combo of the following to get my Netgear 111 to 'see' and 'talk' to the network ... unzip wg111v2_v1.0.0.5.zip unshield data2.cab ndiswrapper -i data2.inf ndiswrapper -m depmod -a modprobe ndiswrapper vi /etc/network/interfaces Add the entires for wlan0 these matched the entrie for the cardbus wireless eithernet card I had already running in the machine. ifdown wlan0; ifup wlan0 Once I had the fob working, I had to hand create an S99wlan0 file to bring the fob up. This was set in the rc*.d directory structure.
