Hi everyone.

How do I know which windows driver do I install for my ndiswrapper.. Where is it located in the windows xp directories. I have a Intel corp pro/wireless Lan 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter... I am currently testing out Parsix Linux and liking it so far.
Thanks in advance

In a console as root type ndiswrapper -i nameoffile.inf It is the inf file that is needed by ndiswrapper. If you download the driver setup file for windows and extract the files to a folder the correct inf file should be in the folder.

Good luck.

Could you please tell me the location of the driver setup. I looked everywhere...
I even googled it and couldn't find it.
Thanks again..

You should find the Windows drivers here..... http://www.intel.com/. If they are in a compressed format extract them in Windows and put them on the linux partition somewhere. In a Konsole as root type ndiswrapper -i then drag the inf file from the folder on linux where you placed the files and drop it in the Konsole window. Hit Enter. With luck that might be all that is needed.
