    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
    E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper_0.8-1_i386

    And yes, i've added the paths correctly to sources.list

    (p.s. i am a complete noob in the world of linux, but i try to learn... )

    Try change the address from:
    deb http://rigtorp.se/debian/ unstable/
    deb-src http://rigtorp.se/debian/ unstable/

    to:
    deb http://rigtorp.se/debian/ unstable
    deb-src http://rigtorp.se/debian/ unstable

    then run apt-get update.

    How about this in sources.list:
    deb http://rigtorp.se/files/debian/ ./
    deb-src http://rigtorp.se/files/debian/ ./

    Then do:
    dselect update
    apt-get -s -t unstable install ndiswrapper

    Remove the -s for simulation if it looks ok.

    Hi folks,

    fisrt of all, thanks! ndiswrapper is now installed pfuhhh...

    Now another problem appeared:

    Installing w22n51
    cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/80211bg/w22n51.inf': No such file or directory
    The file w22n51.inf is the driver of my INTEL 2200BG miniPCI WLAN Card...
    what does this exactly mean?

    if i enter ndiswrapper -l he lists all driver loaded but if i modprobe it, there is no wlan0 device... ;-(

    thanks so far....
    think i've got much to learn
