Using ndsiwrapper on Vine Linux · Oct 24, 10:19 PM by Dylan Doxey

First of all, this was a little bit of a nuisance because I did a minimum install beforehand. The consequence of this was that I needed to manually install ( from RPM ) ndiswrapper, and the wireless tools. To do that, I down loaded the package files on my Debian based Xubuntu machine, then converted the .deb files to .rpm files using alien. Then I transferred them via a USB thumb drive. It was a little tedious, as the dependencies began to reveal themselves.

However, after having installed the necessary tools, configuring ndiswrapper itself was surprisingly simple.

This sums it up pretty well:

#!/bin/bash

ndiswrapper -i /home/dylan/Desktop/airlink101/Driver/Win2kXP/mrv8335x.inf
ndiswrapper -m 
ndiswrapper -l
# installed drivers:
# mrv8335x                driver installed, hardware (11AB:1FAA) present


depmod -a

modprobe ndiswrapper

ifconfig eth0 down
# eth0: 不明なインターフェースです:そのようなデバイスはありません

ifconfig wlan0 up

iwconfig wlan0 key AC3755FC3A03FB0B01A35C81D7

iwconfig wlan0 essid oinker

dhcpcd wlan0
