I tried ndiswrapper on a couple of distros before and my wireless card goes better, especially with a weak connection.
But in sparky is not working. I just installed and updated SparkyGameOver ed. And when I installed ndiswrapper I realized that it doesn't work.
~$ ndiswrapper -v
modinfo: ERROR: Module ndiswrapper not found.
module version is too old!
utils version: '1.9', utils version needed by module: '0'
module details:
modinfo: ERROR: Module ndiswrapper not found.
You may need to upgrade driver and/or utils to latest versions available at
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net
I downloaded ndiswrapper source and I couldn't install it either.
:/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper$ sudo make
[sudo] password for sparky:
Makefile:32: *** No .config found in /usr/lib/modules/4.19.0-5-amd64/build, please set KBUILD to configured kernel. Stop.
Is there a way to fix it easily? Thanks in advance.
Have you read this article ?
https://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper
I'd skimmed through the page a few times before. But what I didn't know was that I had to install a module manually. I'm still very new to linux.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
This is what I had to do:
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 wireless-tools
