What about ndiswrapper ?
A promising lead. So I've tried that; ndiswrapper works, but then
modprobe doesn't recognize it (it says something about .conf files,
too). Perhaps I've done something wrong earlier (I've done so many
things).
I realize it's difficult to copy-paste-and-email error messages when
you don't have the network going yet, but maybe you could take a picture
and upload it somewhere, or at least write down one or two lines of
the error and send it to the list?
You're absolutely right. So here's a detailed account of what I've done,
following what was exposed (in French) here:
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/ndiswrapper
(Yeah, it's for Ubuntu, but that seemed good to me anyway.)
1. I've copied the WinXP driver files (it was recommended to use those,
even if they're 32bits and I have 64bits) into /home/wifi, created just
for that.
2. Then, into that directory, I've done "ndiswrapper -i net8192cu.inf"
3. I've checked with "ndiswrapper -l", which returned:
"net8192cu: driver installed".
(There were other failed drivers from previous attempts; I removed them.)
4. I've done "ndiswrapper -m", which returned:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper,
it will be ignored in a future release.
module configuration already contains alias directive
The existing alias directive must come from a previous manipulation.
5. Then "modprobe ndiswrapper" returned:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper,
it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
6. I went to see that /etc/modprobe.d directory, and I saw several
"<whatever>.conf" files and one extension-less "ndiswrapper" (don't know
where it comes from, probably previous manipulations again). I thought I
could solve that (how naive), and copied "ndiswrapper" into
"ndiswrapper.conf" (by the way, the contents of this file is a simple
line: "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper").
7. "modprobe ndiswrapper" returned the same two messages, so I deleted
the "ndiswrapper" file, and now it only returns the second one (FATAL).
8. That's where I stand now (except "ndiswrapper -m" doesn't return the
warning now that "ndiswrapper" is deleted).
I don't know if that's important, but installation of ndiswrapper was
done (if I remember correctly) with dpkg, not synaptic, since I couldn't
use that offline.
I hope that'll help you help me,
Paul
