Networking :: ndiswrapper netgear wn511b



I hope to tap the wisdom of the forum members on this one.

I am running dsl 4.25 on a frugal hd install.  When trying to run ndiswrapper to set up the netgear wn511b card, modprobe reports a problem with the driver.  I have been able to get this card to work using ndiswrapper in Knoppix 5.1.  I am assuming that dsl may be using an earlier version of ndiswrapper which does not have support for this particular chipset.  Being somewhat of a noob, I'm not sure where to go next.  Is there a relatively simple method to compile and run a newer version of ndiswrapper short of remastering?

No and remastering would be the easier part of it. The more recent versions of ndiswrapper require newer gcc, etc.
