Re: wireless help for the ubuntu OS
I am using Belkin wireless pre-n card. This is my only way to connect to the internet (special thanks to the neighbors) I guess I am just confused on what the hell to do with the ndiswrapper and the drivers ( how to make them jive)

Re: wireless help for the ubuntu OS
dude, I have the ndiswrapper 1.39 and my drivers i know it sounds stupid but how in the ---- do i extract them? I gather it has something to do with the terminal so many codes... I went to the network connection it just says Modem connection " this interface is not configured"

Re: wireless help for the ubuntu OS
what you do with them depends on what kind of files they are.
if they're just the plain files on the website it should be something like
sudo dpkg -i /directory/ndiswrapper-utills-1.39*.deb when you move the files to your desktop, or home directory,. the "/directory" part will more than likely look like "/home/yourustername/ndiswrapper etc." It's all on that link.
the sudo command is to giver you temp super user powers so you have permission to edit system files
the dpkg is the debian package command, it installs and removes .deb files
the -i is telling it to install
the directory/file is telling it what to install and
the *deb is telling it to install it as a debian file.
The information is on that page, dont get to frustrated at it, its aggravating for about a week until you learn it, then you understand why it is like it is.
