knoppix 6.2, FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found
Hello,
Too bad, ndiswrapper is not in the 6.2 DVD. I installed it using the package manager. I could successfully install the driver (ndiswrapper -i xxx.inf).
I got an error when doing modprobe ndiswrapper:
FATAL: Module ndiwrapper not found
Please advise. Thanks.

I had the same issue, long story short I believe I was using the wrong version of ndiswrapper. sudo ndiswrapper -v told me so....
