I would first ask which instructions you are following to install ndiswrapper because compilation and build-essentials does not sound like you are using the standard Ubuntu tools or methodology, the ndiswrapper modules should already be with your installation and you will be using a pre-compiled WiFi driver - that being the point of ndiswrapper in the first place - but I may be wrong and your WiFi card might need this - who knows, there seem to be more WiFi chip-sets than there are drops in the ocean :-) As for the "chicken and egg" situation you find yourself in, I suspect the problem would go away if you were to install it with: apt-get install libstdc++6.4.2-dev g++4.2 -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
