Hey all...I am a *nix newb and having some difficulty with ndiswrapper, mostly because I need to get the drivers off of my usb thumb drive since I have no net connectivity. It is for a dlink g630...first off...I am having some difficulty mounting the usb drive. I am trying a mount -t vfat /dev/sda /path.... but I dont know what the hell i am doing. I think I can follow the ndis documentation but first I need to get the damn driver off the USB drive! Posted by cbagger01 on April 08 2006,23:04
Just type:mount /dev/sda1 from a terminal window. Or open Emelfm and navigate to the /mnt directory. Then right-click on "sda1" and choose "Mount" from the menu. Posted by slothrop on April 09 2006,21:12
well shortly after I posted this I figured it out...however, now I am having some ndiswrapper issuesI ran ndiswrapper -i /home/dsl/download/net5211.inf and then ndiswrapper -l which yields: net5211 driver present, hardware present then modprobe ndiswrapper --- no errors and yet i still cannot use wireless card (Which BTW is a dlink dwl-g630...any ideas?? |
