modprobe ndiswrapper

wiscados · #1 24th August 2007, 12:35 PM

Hi, I just got NDISWrapper installed(thanks to some great prople on this forum ), and now I need to install it.

If I type

Code:

ndiswrapper -l

it says:

Code:

mrv8335 : driver installed
          device (11AB:1FAA) present

But when I type the command:

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper

it says there is no ndiswrapper.

What am I doing wrong?
Is there some special thing about either modprobe or ndiswrapper that I don't know about?

modprobe as far as i know can only run in a su - terminal

Quote:

su -
modprobe ndiswrapper

yeah, I did that. If I don't su - it doesn't even find ndiswrapper

May be ndiswrapper had problems to install as module.

As root type:

dmesg

and see in the last lines if there are some message

No ndiswrapper messages

Try this (as root):

rmmod ndiswrapper

and then

modprobe ndiswrapper

and put last lines here of:

dmesg

wiscados · #7 29th August 2007, 07:28 PM

I tried rmmod, didn't work, then I tried depmod it worked but I don't really know what it did...

ppesci · #8 29th August 2007, 11:22 PM

depmod is depluy module, does almost the same thing than modprobe.

If rmmnod failed, then ndiswrapper is not installed as a module because there is an error maybe.

Restart your computer, and use

modprobe ndiswrapper

and then type

dmesg

or if not ndiswrapper message appear, use the command:

tail /var/log/messages -n20

and see if there are a messages.
