Howto:Install the latest version of ndiswrapper

First you have to download the latest version of ndiswrapper from here.
How you get this onto your computer if you do not have an internet connection is up to you.(Usb thumbdrive, CD-rom, Floppy disk,...etc)

Next you need to add the build-essential package to your system.
I usually use Synaptic Package Manager to install it by clicking on System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager. Then make sure you have the cd repository enabled if you do not have an internet connection. Click on reload if you have altered the repositories. Then search for build-essential. Mark it for installation and finally install it.

Extract the downloaded ndiswrapper file to your hard drive.

Next open up a terminal by clicking on Applications/Accessories/Terminal.

Change to the directory where the extracted ndiswrapper folder is by:
Code:
cd /path/to/ndiswrapper*

For example if you extracted it to your desktop then:
Code:
cd /home/username/Desktop/ndiswrapper*

then:
Code:
sudo make distclean

then:
Code:
sudo make

then:
Code:
sudo make install


Then check if it went correctly by doing:
Code:
ndiswrapper -v

The output should look something like this:
Quote:
utils version: 1.9
driver filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko
version: 1.45
vermagic: 2.6.22-14-generic SMP mod_unload 586


Then you are done!
