what kinda card u got?
[Jul 22,2007 1:35am - thegreatspaldino ""]
i have a motorola wpci810g or whatever... i need ndiswrapper... i installed the 3 necessary packages for it, did ndiswrapper -i ~/driver/bcwml5.inf (or whatever) to install the driver then did ndiswrapper -l and it said "driver invalid!"... so... yeah... im pretty fucked. i need to acquire an ethernet cable thats about 50 ft to access the net on linux... but im broke. i mean... i have a ton of cables, but the range from 6-25 feet and wont reach.

although i think i just remembered something i read about the default wireless driver thats installed with linux possibly getting in the wa of ndiswrapper working... man im so stupid... let me check and see if thats the problem.

you should just do
sudo su
and not set a password for root.

actually i guess not u still need the username to get in
[Jul 22,2007 2:24pm - thegreatspaldino ""]
did everything i could... i even tried different driver sets that correspond with the ID number of the card... no dice. just gonna have to use a wired connection for now

TRY THIS:
The .exe file downloaded from Motorola is a self-extracting .exe, and thus it can be opened on Linux using 'unzip'.

do everything else the way you did it before

if that doesnt work try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174

Spauldino, have you installed build-essentials? You need to install that before you try installing ndiswrapper. It's on your Ubuntu CD.
I just spent all day doing this. It's working fine now.

*phoenix down*
so i decided to stop using Ubuntu for a bit to see if i really would miss it and i did so im using it again. im about to make my "permanent" switch to linux soon. im loading up cedega, transporting the rest of my music and games, and getting the ability to extract rars... although what i MIGHT do. is make the smaller HD xp and the big one Linux. do a switcheroo with them. but then i would have to reinstall everything and that might be too much for my lazy ass right now.
