Hi, How is ndiswrapper packaging going? I'm currently using your 0.7-1 packages, and noticed a few problems:
- If you untar /usr/src/ndiswrapper-source.tar.gz, cd into modules/ndiswrapper, and run make, the build fails because it can't find ../version. The version file is in the current directory, that's where it should be looking for it. Or, DRV_VERSION should be defined elsewhere. - The INSTALL file from ndiswrapper-source should end up in /usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper-source, as it's the only useful documentation I could find on actually enabling ndiswrapper for rtl8180.sys (the README and README.Debian didn't help). - When ndiswrapper-source builds, it looks for the kernel build directory by checking for the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build symlink. This symlink is not created by default, if you're using a debian kernel (I'm using 2.6.6-1-686). This symlink is created by kernel-header packages (ie, kernel-headers-2.6.6-1-686). So, ndiswrapper-source might want to Suggest or Recommend some kernel-headers packages. I'm now successfully using my RTL8180L nic with ndiswrapper. As it appears I'll probably be using it for a while, I'm eager to see ndiswrapper in Debian. If you need help, a co-maintainer, or just some helper utils to allow ndiswrapper to fit in better w/ Debian, let me know. Do you think it will be a while before you attempt to get ndiswrapper into Debian?
