Comments:       ndiswrapper for tc_2.x
                ----------
                Requires the perl5 and wireless_tools extensions
                ----------
                example howto:
                $ sudo ndiswrapper -i /mnt/sda1/drivers/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.inf
                $ sudo ndiswrapper -l
                $ sudo ndiswrapper -m
                $ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
                ----------
                Note: you can now make an extension out of everything in
                .. /etc/ndiswrapper and use it with the ndiswrapper extension
                ..to avoid having to use the perl5 extension
                ----------

coreplayer:
This saved me from insanity thanks :)

only issue for me is each time I run "sudo ndiswrapper -m"  there is an error "modeprobe: invalid option -- "c"
otherwise seems to produce the desired results thanks.

--- End quote ---

That is easily explained: Until TC 2.6 the Core contained the GNU version of 'modprobe', and with TC 2.6 this changed to the BusyBox version that does not support the '-c' option.

I could be wrong, but the two occasions where 'modprobe -c' is used in '/usr/local/sbin/ndiswrapper' don't seem to be critical to the use of 'ndiswrapper'. OTOH one could always install the 'module-init-tools.tcz' extension (that contains the GNU version of 'modprobe') if one has concerns about this warning message.

But based on the fact that things seemed to work without it, I like to suggest to NOT add it to 'ndiswrapper.tcz.dep'.

coreplayer2:
The important thing is the wrapper really did work for me, and was extremely easy to use.
thank again. 
:)

roberts:
It is quite easy to use. I have never used the ndiswrapper -m
Starting with 3.7 it is even easier to use, as you can directly read the Windows driver.
