I have been struggling with this problem for about 2 days now... Here is where I am:
When I run ndiswrapper -l
:
bcmn43xx64 : driver installed
device (0846:9011) present
When I run ndiswrapper -v
:
utils version: '1.9', utils version needed by module: '1.9'
module details:
filename: /lib/modules/4.2.0-25-generic/updates/dkms/ndiswrapper.ko
version: 1.59
vermagic: 4.2.0-25-generic SMP mod_unload modversions
However, when I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
nothing happens.
Note: Here are the ndis module reported as installed under Synaptic PM:
ndiswrapper 1.59-6
ndisgtk 0.8.5-1ubuntu1
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 1.59-6
ndiswrapper-source 1.59-6
ndiswrapper-dkms 1.59-6
For some reason, the ndiswrapper-common
module can't be loaded without removing ndiswrapper
.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I could order the Netgear WNA1100 that is reported to work out the box, but that'd be too easy, and I am trying desperately to learn linux.
thanks, robbo
