Linux HOWTO #1: How to install and use ndiswrapper

I dont, and will never pay for an OS. Get Windows 7 free at WINDOWS7FULLDOWNLOAD ( . ) TK

Thank you a lot, it was hard for me installing wirless in Fedora distrib, but with with your video it was easy =D. Thank you again !!

I'm sure glad I found your video. Out of the versions of Linux I like Suse much better for its ease of use. But I searched their site and with the information I got from there including what I already had, I would have never gotten anything done. I was trying to use the default ndiswrapper included with the versions of Linux that came with them chasing my tail all the way. I'm also sure the non open source driver thing is has to do with Gates and MONEY! Great video and thanks a mil for posting.

Installing ndiswrapper under ubuntu 9.10.

Open the software centre, search for ndiswrapper and mark for installation, done... No need to compile from source.

This video is no good for newbies, because it relies completely on shell commands. All of this is not necessary...

ridiculous, too complicated for something uncomplicated, just install Ubuntu v9.04, autodetects wireless card right out the box, make Linux better with "open drivers" :)

How do we GET ndiswrapper when we don't have internet access on Linux?

use ethernet -
plug in ethernet
open console
ifconfig (lan device, most commonly eth0) up

That's the problem. I can't use ethernet because the router is in the other room.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. It helped a lot.  Works on Ubuntu 9.1 server. I just needed to install the developer tools (essentials ) and unzip to make it through the tutorial.

LOL i bet if linux was commercial it would be even more popular than the mac and FYI i just installed opensuse11.1 on my pc and it detected my network adapter found the SSID and connected to it gee that only took 30 mins. w/o ndiswrapper lol im even younger than you and i can configure wifi in linux and another thing I DIDN'T USE THE CLI
