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
