ndiswraper does not compile in kernel version 2.6.27 without the use of a patch (witch you can find here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...l_2.6.27.patch).

To use the patch download the file, copy it to your ndiswrapper directory (where you would type make from), open a terminal and CD to the directory and type:

patch -pl < ndiswrapper_kernel_2.6.27.patch

Then try to compile it.

ok, I got the drivers to work using this http://ankurs.com/2008/04/installing...on-ubuntu-804/ but:

[Colin-Roberts]

tried tomm's way still same error.

We need more information, such as what the card is, the chipset etc.

[Calon]

Try posting on ubuntu's support forums, you're likely to receive better advice and almost instantly, I can't remember if you need build-essential for it, or that was just my problem.

If you can use Madwifi?
