instWizard The wizard will help you to locate the appropriate inf-file and the according sys-file for the installation of the windows driver. First select the proper device from the device list. By pressing the button right to the list, the offline file from the ndiswrapper wiki (card known to work) is displayed. You maybe find helpful information for your hardware. Next you have to tell the wizard from where to start the search run. If you got a dual boot system and the appropriate driver is already installed in the windows system you may mount the windows partition and give the mountpoint as starting point for the search run. The result of the search run is displayed in the list below. Select a driver from the list and press the install button. The wizard even tries to find the correct sys-file if it is not located in the same folder as the inf-file.

Installation aborted! kndiswrapper KNDISWrapper will help you to setup your wireless network with ndiswrapper. The Install Driver Button is used to install a new driver for a wireless dvice supported by ndiswrapper. To do so, you have to identify the appropriate '.inf' file. Sometimes you find this file on the driver-CD delivered together with the hardware. In some cases this file is stored in a '.cab' file. This is a Windows archive file and can be extracted with 'cabextract'. If the driver is delivered only in a '.exe' setup-file you can 'only install the driver under Windows and look for the driver in the Windows Directory. The Remove Driver Button is used to remove a Windows driver that doesn't work or isn't used any longer. A copy of the driver is made so it can be restored if needed. With the Reload List Button the driver list is loaded again. Changes (e.g. hardware installed) are not detected automaticly. With the Restore Driver Button you can re-install a driver, previously removed through the Remove Button Config Network invokes the network configuration dialog. Here you can setup the interface associated to the driver you have selected in the list. With the Quit Button you exit this application.

No interface found! wifiSetup Here you can setup various parameter for your wireless network The mode of operation can be set to Ad-hoc for a peer-to-peer network without an Access-Point or to Managed for a network with an Access-Point. Specify the essid for your network (either by scanning or entering manually). This information is needed to make your pc a part of a network cell. If you use a managed network and do not use WPA as authentication you can leave this field empty. In this case the wifi-adapter uses the access-point with the best signal quality Within a network you have to specify the authentication-mode. Here you can choose between WEP and WPA. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a system for encryption of networks with optional authentication. Usually when using WEP, the mode WEP-Open is approriate (no authentication). WEP is regarded insecure. Therefore WPA (Wifi Protected Access) was implemented. But not every hardware support WPA. WPA can only be uses in Managed mode. You can enter the key in HEX, ASCII or a Passphrase. If you use WEB as authentication mode you have to enter a 10 digit HEX value for a 64-bit key, a 26 digit HEX value for a 128-bit key, a 32 digit HEX value for a 156-bit key and 58 digits for a 256-bit key. You can alternatively enter a 5 characters for a 64-bit key, 13 characters for a 128-bit key, 16 characters for a 156-bit key and 29 characters for a 256-bit key. But keep in mind that not every hardware supports keys up to 256 bit. If you use WPA you can enter the key in HEX. Therefore you have to enter a 64-digit Hex-key or you can alternatively enter a passphrase (8 - 63 characters) Device : Read this for further information about how to setup your wireless lan Profile : If multiple configurations are found, you can select the active configuration Removes the actual configuration file Key-Format Select the way you want to enter your key Config Select whether you want to config interface with a static IP or via DHCP Static IP DHCP Shows the number of character and whether the key is valid (green) or not (red) Enter the hex-key or passphrase Mode of Operation ESSID Authentication Select a network or enter the ESSID manually Select which encryption mode you want to use ESSID-Scan Scan for available networks Enter the name of your network (ESSID) manually Required Programms: IP-Addr : Netmask : Default GW (opt.) : DNS Entry (opt) sec.

No information for your hardware found in the ndiswrapper wiki! To continue the installation you must find the appropriate .inf-File. Maybe the information above from the ndiswrapper wiki gives you some help. The driver may be packed in an archiv file (*.cab, *.zip or even *.exe). Search for this files and try cabextrac for *.cab, unzip for *.zip and unshield for .exe files. Good luck. Sorry. No information found for the keyword you enterd!
