Setting up wireless in Ubuntu

Hello Frnds,

This I could not post before.. found this in drafts.. :) consider this as a post of 2 years back.. :)

so, Finally i got time.. i got time to write again... this is totally new for me.. b'coz its first time i m using a laptop so it is obvious to get problems during setup.. and this happend.. mot only me.. most of us face problems during installation of wireless network while we are working on a linux... yep, u got it.. its drivers problem... :) ok, then i m gonna help with this issue... on Ubuntu.. and i hope the same will work for any linux..

so here we go with the first post (strictly written ) for wireless laptops

drivers can be downloaded from drivers repositories..

first step :
Installing ndiswrapper -
Download these pkgs for ubuntu... and install by simple double click.

Second :
Get the vendor and suitable driver for it.
run lspci

now run the following command...
>>>>>sudo ndiswrapper -i xxxxxxx.inf
this will install the driver file form "*.inf" file..
>>>>>sudo ndiswrapper -mi && sudo ndiswrapper -ma

now just reboot the computer and ur wireless configuration is done...
enjoy..
