Description:

A GUI for ndiswrapper. Inspired by ndisgtk (thanks for it!)
There are repositories now for Mandriva at http://rpmlinux.org/kndiswrapper
(thanks to mapi)
and rpm packages for SuSE Linux at
http://packman.links2linux.de/package/kndiswrapper
(tanks to Andrea Florio)

I have uploaded a blank language file for 0.3.9.

Regarding 0.4.0 - I myself do not use ndiswrapper anymore though I need some help for testing. If there are some people out there using ndiswrapper - please try out my tool and gimme some feedback. Thanks.
Last changelog:

7 years ago

0.4.0 Complete port to KDE/Qt 4.x

0.3.9 Now an installation Wizard was added to the application. This wizard helps you to find the correct inf-file and the associated sys-file. Espacially helpful if you try to find the already installed driver within a windows partition.

0.3.8 I've made a few changes to the dhcp setup script. Thanks to
Troy S. McRoodberg the application now has a russian translation file. I also made the ndiswrapper "cards known to work" wiki available. The application checks now at the installation process if there are enties in the wiki (offline) for the hardware present in the computer (hardware id). So you may get helpfull hints for the installation process (where to get an appropriate driver, did it work on someone else PC and so on ...). You can even browse the wiki-file and search within it. I'll try to update the wikifile frequently.

0.3.7 KNDISWrapper can now speak brasilian. A language file for brasilian was provided by Márcio P. Moraes. Thank you very much.

0.3.6 Did some more tweaks at the wifi setup. By invoking the app with --disablerootcheck you can disable the internal root check. The app still needs root right to run properly. With --disablenetconf you remove the net config button. I was asked by someone to add this feature ....
Now you can also connect to network with encryption set to off (no encryption).

0.3.5 Improvment of the wifi setup. Language files are now included into the source and the rpm package. You can now select the language with the first startup of the app or by invocing the prog with --setup as root.

0.3.4 Language Files for German and Simplified Chinese are availabel. The Language File for Simplified Chinese is a courtesy of Ni Hui. (Thanks)
A Language File for Italian is in the making.

0.3.4 Added language support. A blank language file is provided an I will upload a german translation soon. The language file must be named: kndiswrapper_xx.qm where xx stands for the country code. For example for Italy the filename must be: kndiswrapper_it.qm. The file must be placed at /root/.kndiswrapper/translations. The gui loads the language file depending on the language setting for the desktop.

0.3.3 Added profiles to the network configuration. Now you can save different network configuration for a interface. With a click of the mouse you change the configuration of the network. A feature for user with a notebook who use different configuration at different locations.

0.3.2 Fixing some bugs (dhcp-config) and other minor flaws. I did some testing with a Fritz-Box and a Speedport W700V

0.3.1 Adding a setup feature so you can now setup your wireless network (inc. encryption, dhcp or static ip)

0.2.5 Doing a bit more to help a user to install a driver and checking for problems and fix them.

0.2.0 Just generic support to install windows driver

Hello. I have kubuntu 8.04 and I have had the following error:

I solved it editing the file "Makefile" in the "Translations" folder and replacing "lrelease-language compress $ $ \" with "language lrelease $ $ \", In the same way it had been indicated to the user Thomashausa in:
www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/netgo_ng?content=88232
Thank you for the app.

I'm sorry, the Google translator has changed the order of what he had written.
The correct way is:

I solved it editing the file "Makefile" in the "translations" folder and replacing "lrelease -compress $$language; \" with "lrelease $$language; \"

Yes, the problem ist still the same. Some versions of "lrelease" still need the --compress switch and the newer one dont know this switch and produce an error. Hope the app will help you to setup ndiswrapper.
Best regards

Really nice applications, thx.

Just tried to compile 0.3.6. one error about installing translations. In translations/Makefile:

lrelease -compress $$language; line gives en error. I think it must like -uncompress or just lrelease.

Otherwise, the locale files are going under /usr/local/translations where is no application really using. It's better to move them under /usr/share/kndiswrapper/i18n/ or /usr/share/locale

Best Regards...

I still use SuSE 10.3 and there you have to use the --compress switch to make it work. But I think there are other distros who use a newer version of lrelease and there the --compress switch cause an error. Don't now how to fix this. Maybe I will change the path for the translation files with the next version. Thanks for your suggestions.

This are just warnings. The application should have compiled and can be installed with make install. I got this warnings as well and the application compiles / runs.
After compilation you can check whether the program compiles by checking the folder kndiswrapper-0.3.4/src/ . Here you should find the binary.
Best regards.
Joerg.

You are installing from sources. Try unsermake instead of make

unsermake install

don't know why or wherefrom it comes but I encounterd this Problem myself and can only over this workaround ...

This is a great idea, and something that really would contribute to the ease-of-use for new KDE users. Are there any plans to port it to qt4?

That depends on how fast SuSE has a reliable working 11.x Version (with KDE 4). I don't want to switch over to a new Version that works so bad. But I'll keep it in mind.
