[LIVE] How can I install ndiswrapper?
#1
I have just installed xbmc live 9.11 and am trying to get my Linksys WUSB300N running with it.

I have had it running on Ubuntu before using these instructions:

And had hoped to follow a similar procedure with xbmc live but it appears that ndiswrapper is not installed by default.

What is the best method for installing this without internet access? I was planning to burn a copy of Ubuntu desktop 9.10 and add it to the apt sources and do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-commin
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Is that a bad idea? Is there a different ubuntu source disk I should be using?

So to answer my own question, I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)]/ karmic main restricted

Then ran:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Then followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530772

Seems to be working well now.
