 Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2005 3:45 pm Post subject: ndiswrapper kernel config |
 |
|
hello everybody,
I try to use my belkin wifi card on my laptop by using ndiswrapper but I encounter some troubles,here is my configuration:
Gentoo linux with 2.6.11 kernel
WIFI card:belkin F5D7011
ndiswrapper 1.1
driver: the driver noticed on the ndiswrapper supported cards list: http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R81433.EXE (you have to unzip it)
When I try to emerge ndiswrapper,I had a error message, my kernel configuration was wrong and I had to unset CONFIG_4STACKS and set CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y, while kernel was recompiling,I try to emerge ndiswrapper,that was OK and it install without errors,after I did what they say,ie ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf, after when I type ndiswrapper -l it displays:
| Code: |
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present
|
So I do "modprobe ndiswrapper" and I get:
| Code: |
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r3/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format
|
So I type dmesg:
| Code: |
ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.11-gentoo-r3 preempt K7 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.11-gentoo-r3 preempt K7 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'
|
At this point I didn't restart computer with new kernel,when I try to,I had a lot of error messages and my soundcard didn't work anymore!
But I had a different error message about symbols I think...
Thank you for reading my to this point! |

Uh-oh, sounds like you put the cart in front of the horse.
O.k. 1st thing, you need to back things out.
| Code: | | ndiswrapper -e bvmwl5a |
That will take out the windows driver,
Then I would
| Quote: | | emerge -C ndiswrapper |
Check your kernel, make sure 4Kstacks is unset, and Config_Net_radio=yes If nessessary recompile the kernel, copy new kernel (.config, System.map) to /boot, modify grub.conf
Reboot the system
Follow this Wiki starting at step 4.2
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation#Install_Windows_driver
And for future refrence, If I'm working on the kernel, I don't do ANYTHING, until I've recompiled it and sucessfuly rebooted.
Good Luck! |
