Does anyone still have Knoppix 3.3 laying around? I would really like to get the file /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/misc/ndiswrapper.o from Knoppix 3.3.
This file is only 120Kb so it's crazy to download the whole 700MB, especially when my internet account allows me 200MB per month. And the Knoppix resellers here in Australia don't keep old versions.
I am trying to get a prism2-based usb wireless adapter working in Luit Linux. Luit is one of the many "mini" derivatives of Knoppix, and it has the 2.4.22-xfs kernel.
The linux-wlan-ng drivers refuse to work.
ndiswrapper looks like it will work, but I have the wrong kernel module file, and it complains about this mismatch.
Any suggestions would be welcome, too.
My email is [email protected]
Thanks

I don't think I have the file, but anyways, you so need a new ISP. No offense or anything, but even a 5GB dl limit is too small.![]()
Ok, here's the problem: I booted Knoppix 3.3. In /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/ there are directories "build", "kernel", "net", "pcmcia", and "usb", but no directory "misc".
Sorry everyone, I was looking at a hard drive install of Knoppix 3.4 on which I must have installed ndiswrapper, because I can't find it on the 3.4 CD.
So it looks like I will have to download Knoppix 3.3, install to HD, then install ndiswrapper.
Sorry for the trouble.
Well there's a happy ending to this messy problem - to avoid the long-winded process of compiling the correct modules for Luit's 2.4.22-xfs kernel, I took some drastic action.
I upgraded Luit's kernel to 2.4.26 in a very ugly fashion by deleting its kernel file plus modules directory, then replaced them with those from DamnSmallLinux.
I half expected boot failure or kernel panic ... but no, it all worked! And with the new kernel, the linux-wlan-ng drivers now work great!
