ndiswrapper for Debian
4
The ndiswrapper-source package can be used in several ways,
6
- Using the make-kpkg(1) command provided by the kernel-package Debian
7
package. This will produce a corresponding ndiswrapper-modules package for
8
the Debian kernel-image package that you are using. This is "the Debian
9
way". See the "modules_image" section of the make-kpkg(1) man page.
11
- Using module-assistant: "module-assistant auto-install ndiswrapper"
13
- Manually building a debian package, "cd /usr/src/ndiswrapper/ &&
14
./debian/rules binary-module".
16
- Changing to the /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/ directory and building as
17
the INSTALL file instructs using "make; make install". This will build
18
and install a module specific to the system you are building on and is
19
not under control of the packaging system.

This package provides the ndiswrapper source code and binaries that can be used
5
to build modules that work with your custom built linux kernel. The source
6
files are located in /usr/src/ndiswrapper.tar.bz2; unpacking that file in
7
/usr/src will produce a build tree in /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/
8
(The tar file can also be unpacked elsewhere).

Building ndiswrapper kernel modules with module-assistant
11
=========================================================
13
Please install the module-assistant package and issue the following commands:-
18
The above commands will prepare, compile, package and install a set of
19
ndiswrapper modules for your kernel.
21
m-a is short for module-assistant, and a-i is short for auto-install. Please
22
see the module-assistant documentation for further details.
25
Building ndiswrapper kernel modules (kernel-package)
26
====================================================
28
If necessary, prepare the kernel source tree for the target kernel. If you are
29
using a self compiled kernel than you have an easy task!
32
$ tar jxvf ndiswrapper.tar.bz2
34
$ make-kpkg --added-modules ndiswrapper modules
36
Where $KVERS is the exact version string of the kernel you want to build
37
ndiswrapper for. A ndiswrapper-modules package will be built against the kernel
38
source version specified. Look at the output for where the ndiswrapper-modules
39
package is located. Then use dpkg to install the module package by hand, eg:-
41
$ dpkg -i /usr/src/ndiswrapper-modules-$KVERS.deb
