Laptops :: More ThinkPad Problems



Is your XP partition NTFS, and is it the first partition on the Hard Drive
( typically is.. )
There is a mount app in your slit - the bar of tools in the right hand lower corner.
In the mount app there are 2 arrows, and a 'screw' shaped button next to them..

press the arrows till you see the drive hda1
press the screw button, it will turn green
now you have mounted read-only your NTFS XP partition.

open the emelfm app, ( filing cabinet icon on the left side of the screen )
maneuver to the /mnt directory by clicking thru up directories
inside it , you will see the hda1 directory.
click on it to open it, and you will see your XP files..

Okay, I'm in!

Now, I have the drivers you asked for, what do I do with them?
...schweet...

Grab the latest release.. 0.8.2

We have incorporated both ndiswrapper and an easy to use gui with it.
This verson of DSL was released to the public about an hour ago,
......sri about the wait  -  
I knew it was coming, and it's better than walking you thru a compile and install
 :-)

Using your desktop menu, goto System > Net Setup > ndiswrapper
Fill in the blanks...
1. Location to your .inf file > if on another partition, make sure you mount it first
2. Device = I'd leave it wlan0 for now
3. SID = your essid for your router/access point
4. WEP = your encryption key , if you use one = e.g. aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:gg:hh:ii:jj:kk:ll:mm:nn  for a 128 bit key
5. click "OK" - look for blinkie lights on your card if you have them

If you have troubles, check the ndiswrapper website for tips..

If you want to backup/restore these changes to survive a reboot,
let me know, and I can help with that too..

Enjoy !

W00t! as they say in the hacker-kiddie circles

Thank you!

I'll set this up tonight when I can get to my other machine (with the CD burner).

I will let you know how it goes.
Well, just an update before moving on to other issues somewhere else. Got my WPC11 v4 working with DSL 0.8.2 and ndiswrapper following the instructions ke4nt gave me. If anyone else has these issues, this looks to be the answer!

Thanks again for the help!
