May 12, 2012 - I will admit it's bit long-winded, but it's easy to follow, and it works, and the uploader's English is clear and understandable. I say thanks emiemi2, very helpful.

Mar 14, 2012 - Calm down man, I know linux can be frustrating, I've been at it for the past 3 days on my dell latitude CP, to get Make (at least on damn small linux) google: Damn Small Linux Repository, go to damnsmall/mydsl/system/ on the website. Under there should be gcc1.dsl, then click the start button and load the myDSL browser and click Install from local, navigate to the file and click Okay, it should install in a few minutes. That's how it works for Damn Small Linux, maybe try that distro?

Mar 4, 2012 - why does linux not come with NDISwrapper installed knowing the problem with wifi? My disto did not come with make. WHY!? At 5:32 you say type make install. You did not explain how to install make. WHY? You ignored 80% of the process of this installation. WHY? It is 10 min of crap to me. This did not help. You should start at explaining what the terminal is. And what ls stands for. Why will no one explain to me how linux works? All they do is vomit code in my face and act like I'm stupid.

Jul 28, 2011 - This won't work past the command "make". It tells me the "make" is not installed. it tells me i can install make by typing: "sudo apt-get install make" I type this it tells me "E: Package make has no installation candidate"

Jul 22, 2011 - @Ograws I don't think you do if you either have a dual booted machine in which the other operating system has access to Internet or just a whole another system with access to Internet. With this process though your are going to need an USB storage device of some kind.

Ograws Says:

Jul 21, 2011 - Do you need an internet connection to install NDISWRAPPER on the Linux machine?

Jun 15, 2011 - Thanks for the video but I need some help. So I have a CentOS 5.6 machine and I am trying to get my Netgear WG311v3 wireless pci card to work. I followed your instructions and managed to install ndiswrapper and the windows drivers for the wireless card. But after adding an alias to /etc and running the "ifconfig wlan0 up" command I get the following error: wlan0: unknown interface: No such device Any suggestions?
