NdisWrapper: The Ultimate Guide

Linux Questions published the eighth chapter of the Beginning Ubuntu Linux book which covers how to use NdisWrapper. If you’ve got an internal wireless card that was not automatically detected by your Linux distribution, you are probably very aware of the annoyances that come with trying to apply the appropriate Windows driver to get your card to work.

The guide covers (obviously) how to use NdisWrapper on Ubuntu Linux. This guide is a great read if you’re having trouble with your wireless card or if you’re about to start a new installation.

In addition to detailing how to install/remove NdisWrapper drivers, this massive 3,500 word guide includes the vital steps of precisely matching the correct driver to the hardware, and then extracting the necessary files from Windows driver archive files. These steps are frequently overlooked by other guides and are a brick wall for many users.
