Ok...i installed ndiswrapper 1.0rc2 (yes it is a beta)....and i was following the directions as posted here the other day from another forum....
 
Know that the instructions were for mandrake and I use SuSE 9.1..
 
When I get to the point where I try to install my win drivers using
> ndiswrapper -i /mnt/media/dvdrecorder/driver/windows xp/wg311v2.inf
 
it tells me command not found....
 
I'm still not 100% comfortable with using the shell and path names in Linux so bear with me but what am I doing wrong?
 
Through several searches and reading a bit it seems the ndiswrapper method is better for version 2 than the madwifi method...

Instead, try...
 
 
> ndiswrapper -i /mnt/media/dvdrecorder/driver/windows\ xp/wg311v2.inf
 
Make sure there is a space between \ and xp.

I think Dan is on it. Linux does not like spaces in directory names. His method will bypass this issue and allow the directory to be read properly, not looked at as a command. The space makes Linux think that this is a command.
 
I have a wifi card (D-Link) installed on my system. The madwifi works fine in one distro (CVS version) and ndiswrapper in another (from source).
 
Dan, don't you have a Linksys in one of your systems? I may need help with this, as I just purchased one (WMP54G).

you do not need ndiswrapper for this card to get it work.
the chip is compatible with the
'Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps wireless Interface'
try the acx111 driver from http://acx100.sourceforge.net/
it works.
i know it, i have tested it yesterday.
