NDISWRAPPER versions
Posts: 1
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.

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:

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.
