Using Ndiswrapper In Fedora Core 6 Installation Error

[jimmy89 0]

Hi,
I have been trying to install my wireless pcmcia card onto fedora core 6. to do this i have been trying to use ndiswrapper https://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ but with no luck.

i am using ndiswrapper-1.34 and i keep running into some problems. I can successfully complete the make distclean, make and make install (root) commands and they work without a problem.

It is only when i try to enter the command

ndiswrapper -i filename.inf (replacing filename.inf with the .inf file of my pc card)

i get the following error

[root@james-laptop ndiswrapper-1.34rc2]# ndiswrapper -i WG511v2.INFbash: ndiswrapper: command not found

i have copied the files to my home directroy (/home/james/ndiswrapper-1.34) and have copied the .inf and .sys files there too. But still i keep getting this error! does anyone know whats happening to cause this error?

Thanks

You must specify that what you want is in the current location you are at:

[root@james-laptop ndiswrapper-1.34rc2]# ./ndiswrapper -i WG511v2.INF

That's it. If you want ndiswrapper to be accessible whenever you type it, then create a link to it inside the /usr/bin location, or where you see fit.

Cheers,

i have tried this code but now i get a different error. it now says no such file or directory.

[root@james-laptop ndiswrapper-1.34rc2]# ./ndiswrapper -i Wg511v2.INFbash: ./ndiswrapper: No such file or directory

thanks!

./ndiswrapper -i Wg511v2.INF

I would do the following, just in order to verify that there is no mistyping.1) ls ./ndiswrapper
this should give no error, just showing the ndiswrapper file name.
2) ls ./Wg511v2.INF
This should also give no error, just listing the .INF filename.
Then, ./ndiswrapper -i ./Wg511v2.INF


I would say that the second error type was due to the missing ./ in front of Wg511v2.

Tell us if this works now.
