[Bug 1323753] Re: ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1: ndiswrapper kernel module failed to build

[Daniel Letzeisen]

Converting to question because ndiswrapper isn't going to work without
upgrading (see bug 1023645 ) and the error you receive indicates a
problem with the Windows driver you're trying to use (which is not
officially supported by Canonical/Ubuntu).

** Changed in: ndiswrapper (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1: ndiswrapper kernel module failed to
  build

Status in “ndiswrapper” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Am a real beginner in Linux. Used the commands:

  sudo apt-get sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
  sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
  sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
  sudo apt-get install dkms
  sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms

  Upon these commands and using page "How to fix "ndiswrapper not found""
  unimpossible to find:
  directory "modules" where ndiswrapper should be present
  unimpossible to install "instwcli.inf" as windows driver. Get the error message "'Error in driver file" (or so, translated it from German). 

  Re-installed ndiswrapper using:
  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms ndisgtk ndiswrapper-dkms
  No success. Need for help at a very beginner's level
  Thanks
