Thanks for the pointer. I have (as expected) run into a problem that I barely
understand. Naturally I have no idea how to proceed.
The instruction:
* verify the utils were installed:
o whereis loadndisdriver ndiswrapper wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx
does not produce the expected output. In fact, I first tried 'make rpm' and it
complained "RPM build errors: File not
found: /usr/sbin/wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx" and sure enough, 'make install'
also seems to be completely missing this file.
[root at localhost ndiswrapper-0.10]# whereis loadndisdriver ndiswrapper
wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx
loadndisdriver: /sbin/loadndisdriver
ndiswrapper: /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper /usr/share/man/man8/ndiswrapper.8
wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx:
Questions: what the heck is wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx, why would I need it
(my laptop is compaq, not averatec, and these instructions look to be
generic, not brand specific), should it have been present in the ndis file,
in my FC2 distro or what, and how can I find it?
sigh.
