[opensuse] ndiswrapper modprobe failure on 10.1
I'm trying to get wireless running on a laptop. The pcm-cia card requires the use of ndiswrapper to handle the driver. I have ndiswraper configged, and have had it write it's configuration for modprobe. However modprobe complains that it cannot find the ndiswrapper module. D57T9531:/ # modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. D57T9531:/ # ndiswrapper Usage: ndiswrapper OPTION Manage ndis drivers for ndiswrapper. -i inffile Install driver described by 'inffile' -d devid driver Use installed 'driver' for 'devid' -e driver Remove 'driver' -l List installed drivers -m Write configuration for modprobe where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XXXX D57T9531:/ # ndiswrapper -m Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper D57T9531:/ # modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

You need to install the kernel module ndiswrapper. Usually found in km_ndiswrapper.your.kernel.version.rpm. Do a search and you should find it on the CD/DVD.

Thanks, that fixed it. Now on the the next step, getting the wireless to do the networking. :/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
