What is it? =========== Some vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or provide a Linux driver for their wireless network cards. This project provides a Linux kernel module that loads and runs NDIS (Windows network driver API) drivers supplied by the vendors Status ====== Many cards work; see http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List for details. Installation ============ See INSTALL for a short version of installation instructions. More up-to-date instructions, as well as FAQ etc., can be found at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Installation. Problems ======== Read documentation at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki. Before sending bug reports, please check archives of mailing list and public forum available at project home page: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net. Both these have search facility. Follow the instructions below when sending a bug report: * Recompile with 'make DEBUG=3' and reload ndiswrapper module. Report dmesg output. Without this step, proper feedback may not be possible. Include details about your card, chipset (reported by lspci), distribution, kernel version in the post. * Check if latest SVN works. * Use an alternate windows driver; see the link in Status section above for a driver that is known to work for your chipset. You may also find more information in the Wiki.
