Some Linux users may suffer from failure to find a suitable Wi-Fi wireless NIC Driver. With the NDISwrapper project, you can use the Windows Driver of the wireless network card on Linux.
However, NDISwrapper is not easy to install and seems a little difficult for general Linux users. Now, with the emergence of the new Auto-NDISwrapper project, the existing problems will be solved, making it easier for you to drive a wireless network card on Linux.
How Auto-NDISwrapper works:
- Automatically discovers wireless NICs in your existing system
- Disable the currently installed driver
- Capture the correct Windows Driver from the Internet
- Use NDISwrapper to install the driver
The current version of Auto-NDISwrapper is 0.1. If you are interested, try it.
First, I would like to thank the article from LinuxTOY: Auto-NDISwrapper: it is easier to use Wi-Fi in Linux.
