Comment 32 for bug 122703

However, ndiswrapper works fine following these directions:
http://jbopensrc.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/quickfix-ar5418-with-ndiswrapper/

...except that "modprobe ndiswrapper" resulted in the error:
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

...solution: find the module...
me@ubuntu-bootcamp:~/Linux/ndiswrapper$ locate ndiswrapper
/lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper
/lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko

...OK we found the module, now run depmod:
me@ubuntu-bootcamp:~/Linux/ndiswrapper$ sudo depmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko

...voila!
me@ubuntu-bootcamp:~/Linux/ndiswrapper$ lsmod|grep ndis
ndiswrapper 192920 0
usbcore 146028 8 ndiswrapper,hci_usb,uvcvideo,appletouch,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

...and finally...
me@ubuntu-bootcamp:~/Linux/ndiswrapper$ ifconfig
