NDISWRAPPER versions
This I am sure has been covered many times - And i have attempted to sort the wood from the trees, however.
I am trying to get my belkin USB Wirless stick to work. I have the windows drivers and I am aware that ndiswrapper should do the job. I downloaded v1.3 as read elsewhere that this version works.
But when I try to load the file it fails because there is a requirement for 9 other dependancies.
Has the latest version of wrapper (what ever it is ??????????????) have all these files as part of the download.
Many thanks in advance.

Installing a new version of ndiswrapper is last resort
Post back with exact model, version and chipset of your wireless card. Post results of lsusb, (maybe lspci -vv as well).
Post the version of Mepis you are using.
Usually the version of ndiswrapper makes no difference and there is some other problem.

It may not need ndiswrapper
I've got a Belkin USB Wireless G and it works without using ndiswrapper via the rt2570 driver built into the distro.
See what you get if you type this from a console:
iwconfig
My Belkin shows up as rausb0
Unfortunately, SimplyMEPIS 6.0 doesn't have a way to configure an adapter named rausb0 from the GUI menus.
So, I needed to modify a script to get an IP Address upon bootup. See this thread for details:
