Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

I am currently setting up Ubuntu 9:10.

Thanks John Chee for your helpful webpage
"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper";.  There
seems to be a couple of slightly incorrect or missing details:

Towards the bottom of section "2.2. Installing Packages (With Internet
access on another computer)"

1   I believe that "sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-utils_*.deb" should be "sudo dpkg 
-i ndiswrapper-utils-*.deb" (the underscore should be a hyphen) to prevent the 
error "dpkg: error processing ndiswrapper-utils_*.deb (--install): cannot 
access archive: No such file or directory".  
2   Just before this I also think there needs to be the terminal command "sudo 
dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_*.deb" to avoid the error "dpkg: dependency problems 
prevent configuration of ndiswrapper-utils-1.9: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 depends 
on ndiswrapper-common; however: Package ndiswrapper-common is not installed."

I was going to try editing it myself but it seems that editing is not
possible only new pages.  I was also unsure whether I was reading the
context wrong as this section may be part of "2.2.2. Older Releases"
rather than both being the same level but  I couldn't find these details
elsewhere in section 2.2.

Thanks to all for your contributions.
Darren
