Well - it's an issue of compiling gcc-3.4 in order to compile a newer version of ndiswrapper in turn. As its name suggests, compile-3.3.5 uses gcc-3.3.5.

You should be able to use compile-3.3.5 to compile gcc-3.4, but I think the law of diminishing returns will probably apply at some point...

Correct - you should be able to compile gcc-3.4 with compile-3.3.5

And i have compile 3.3.5 on dsl 4.4.4?...i take it as yes ;)

Right problem is that i can't find the package with gcc3.4
Anyone got an idea where to get it? A download link or something would be great.
And also ndiswrapper sais that any older verions should be removed first. How do i do that? Is there a package manager where I can just click uninstall or do i have to do it manually? And if manually which files do i have to delete?

compile-3.3.5.uci is a mydsl extension - you can find it in the testing section.

If you look in the info file for compile-3.3.5 in mydsl testing, you will find the url for gcc-3.3.5, you should be able to navigate from there to gcc-3.4

If you compile the new ndiswrapper to /usr you will not need to remove the existing ndiswrapper.
