I installed ndisgtk but not sure how to run inf file.gtsfer wrote:One method is to download this driver and install it using the "Windows Wireless Driver" (ndiswrapper driver install tool). I'm not sure if LM 16 Mate has it installed by default as I am running LMDE. If you need this it's called "ndisgtk " in Package Manager. This is just the GUI front end, you already have ndiswrapper.
Realtek's web site for drivers can be a pain but it's here... http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dow ... wnTypeID=3
The one for Win XP 32/64 should work, click the US1, US2 or US3 site. If Realtek's download doesn't cooperate use this link instead... http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownlo ... 17566.html
Once you have it right click on the thing, open with Archive Manager and extract it. Next start the "Windows Wireless Driver", find and install the INF file.
I've had better luck with this than using the Linux install packages due to my inexperience.

Start Windows Wireless Drivers. Then "Install New Driver". When "Location" comes up browse to the folder where you extracted that thing. The INF file will be somewhere in a sub-folder (and ANOTHER sub-folder) under that.computerguybry wrote:I installed ndisgtk but not sure how to run inf file.
