apt-get & ndiswrapper

[cyph3r]

Hi,

im Working on a Kernel 2.4.20 and if i try to install ndiswrapper0.8 via apt-get i receive following errors:

# i read the f*** manual
# i used the search button
but still don't know....

root@box:~# apt-get install ndiswrapper_0.8-1_i386
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://rigtorp.se unstable/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/rigtorp.se_debian_unstable_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper_0.8-1_i386
root@box:~#

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.

Hi, if i do so it doesn't work:

root@box:~# apt-get update
E: Malformed line 70 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)

Thats the line you suggested...

if i try it unchanged:

root@box:~# apt-get update
E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
E: Tried to dequeue a fetching object

any other hints?

thanks - cyph3r

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:

root@box:~# ndiswrapper -i /usr/src/80211bg/w22n51.inf
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
