I am quite new to ndiswrapper. For Etch, I had downloaded latest source, installed kernel headers, and then simply ./configure, make, make install.
Now I am trying Testing, and since I supposed the official packages would be recent, I began to simply install ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9. But then, when I come to do modprobe ndiswrapper, I realized there was no ndiswrapper-module. I was hoping to find something like ndiswrapper-2.6.26-subversion-i386 module, but no. So it seems I really need ndiswrapper-source (probably should remove ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 because I believe ndiswrapper contains source for both user-space utilities and kernel module). But, as I have no wired connection, I need to get packages individually using wireless on an other OS. And I find it a bit long, because ndiswrapper-source seems to depends on (in my opinion) too many packages (bzip2, debhelper, module-assistant... debhelper having it's own dependancies: binutils, dpkg-dev, file, html2text, man-db, perl, po-debconf). Now, I am seriously thinking about just downloading ndiswrapper sources and give up using Debian packages. But then, I tought I should ask help here, maybe I am missing a binary package with ndiswrapper kernel module already compiled. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
