    i tried that,
    so, i installed ndiswrapper via mandrake installation system, then loaded windows drivers, and everything worked till the moment when i tried
    modprobe ndiswrapper

    that showed me something like:
    FATAL: ndiswrapper module cannot be find

    then i tried uninstalling ndiswrapper and compiling it from the source.
    it couldn't compile even when i linked the modules/build folder with the kernel source.
    any clues??
    thanks

    I got mine working in Slackware 10 using the Ralink Linux drivers without too much trouble. What version are you trying to compile? What Kernel are you running?
