First about ndiswrapper:
It says I need to have wireless-tools installed.. I noticed that up2date has updated wireless-tools... I can find man pages on wireless, iwconfig, etc... but I can't find the actual program. I don't believe it is actually installed, and need to find out how to install it.
I also don't know what I should do about the kernel sources. There is a link in the modules directory. But ndiswrapper also wants me to start compiling the kernel source so I have the needed header files. What should I do here?
-----------------
About Nvidia drivers:
I installed the Nvidia drives from a tarball. And the only way I could actually get opengl to install was by editing ther console.perms file and remove the lines about dri. I then chmod-ed and chown-ed the nvidia library files. But every time you reboot, the permissions are changed back. My fix was to add the chmod and chown lines in the /etc/rc5.d/init.d/S99local file.
What is a better fix for this? I've heard that my solution opens a hole in security.
