Staring new thread as original has gotten out of hand.
Netgear dwna3100v2 wifi adapter, I have got to the point where I give
bcmn43xx64 and get the response Invalid driver with a red X , any other
driver I should try?

Thanks Rene

Perhaps you didn't have your coffee yet. Did you mean instead
"Netgear WNDA3100v2"?

Although it make it look like you must register to get their driver, I
just clicked on the "X" close icon and the download started, anyway.
The only files I found in the downloaded .zip file (and the .zip files
it contained) were setup.exe and a release notes file.

From where did you download the driver you are tried to use?

Actually, the question is about getting ndiswrapper
to run that Wifi in Linux. He's trying to get it
running in Linux at the moment. As near as I can
tell (some 2012 threads), that one is still an
ndiswrapper solution. There's nothing wrong with
that, as long as the hardware PNP works properly,
and the thing is actually a recognized variant
of the family.

And that's why one of the steps, is using as many
"inventory" applications, to get as much data on
the thing as possible. It's possible there is a
more "Wifi specific" inventory application available.

A small amount of hardware for Wifi, has native
drivers. Other brands may offer nothing of use,
and then the Linux community uses ndiswrapper,
grabs an ndis file from Windows (WinXP), and runs that
file in Linux (loads the EXE or DLL or whatever).

Although Rene replied that he posted to the wrong newsgroup, he did not
say to which newsgroup he posted before and where he meant to submit his
new post. He did an opps following by another oops. I did not know
where to get a history of what he was doing. Thanks for the update.

Sorry for the foulup, Yes I was on the Linux Mint newsgroup and the
driver is one I downloaded from a user forum titled BCMN43xx64 I will
try to install it again with ndiswrapper.
