Sam, the file is a jpeg file only because WordPress does not allow a lot of file extensions here. So I had to rename the file into *.jpg. Do not worry – it is an archive (not an image) and will unpack w/o problems.

Hey, I really want to get the Drivers but when I click the link at the top called “Drivers for WUSB54GC” it is only a jpeg file? I can’t find the drivers at the official site either?

Hey, did you actually do the “ndiswrapper -m” part? Reboot? Any errors or strange output (e.g. from ndiswrapper -i).

In step #3:

ndiswrapper -m

ndiswrapper -mi

ndiswrapper -ma

Comment:

Don’t do all three of those. Each one of those will write different things in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper. The last two completely overwrite /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper effectively removing anything already there. The first one will still write its line in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper if either of the other two have ready been run, but error messages will be produced recommending removal of the other lines. Do one, try connecting, and if it works then stop.

Try using WinRAR – it unpacks the exe with no problems Just right-click and “Extract here”

Jefim,

I used this procedure to get it working on Ubuntu 8.04. The only differences were that:
- I used the drivers off the CD which came with the device.
- “apt-get install ndiswrapper” didn’t work. It seems that the package has been split into two parts. Instead, I installed ndisgtk and that caused ndiswrapper* to be downloaded & installed as dependencies automatically.

Thanks a lot for showing the direction!

Abhik.
