    I, as you know, am a complete and utter newbie to Kubuntu Linux. OK, I hear from the guys at the Linksys forums that I need "ndiswrapper" to install my Windows WiFi driver on Linux. I've downloaded this thing, and it's on my flash drive waiting to be installed on Linux.

    There's just one little problem: I have no clue how to install anything on Linux, being the newbie that I am. Can anyone provide a link to a good tutorial I can save/print and use to help a total newbie learn how to do this?

    EDIT: Never mind, I just had to install it with Adept. Now I just need to find how to get that Windows driver on my Linux partition. (now that's going to be fun...) Oh, and it may help to know how to use ndiswrapper... so if there are tutorials on installing things with ndiwswrapper I'd appreciate it... :-/

      Don't know if this is a problem for the CH board or the Linksys board. I'm posting this on both.

      I installed ndiswrapper and I installed the driver. However, when I typed

      Quote
      ndiswrapper -l

      to test, I got this:

      Installed ndis drivers:
      rt2500      invalid driver!

      What does that mean?
