Hello,
a few days ago, I've become an old Notebook for free because it wasn't used since years and i wanted to try some stuff with Kali-Linux without using my "official" PC with Windows 10.
This old Notebook is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xa 2528. The WLAN-card, that was installed there, when it was purchased (WLAN-Card SIS163U; i googled so far, because i couldn't find out by using the commandline after installing Kali 2016.2) is not supported by linux and the only existing drivers are for Windows XP (i have them on a stick).
So after looking for a solution with google for a while, i tried to use ndiswrapper to install the XP-driver. (So far, the Notebook has no Internet, i download everything on my "official" PC and transfer it with a stick).
I downloaded the following modules:
dkms; ndiswrapper-utils-1.9; ndiswrapper-common; ndisgtk; ndiswrapper-dkms; gksu
While dkms and gksu where allready installed, the installation of the rest ends with : pkgacquire::run (13: keine berechtigung ) and that _apt user has no rights for doing this.
When i try to reinstall the packages it says, that there are allready installed.
When i try to install the driver with ndisgtk, it says, 1 fitting hardware was found, but the installation aborts with the information: ndiswrapper-module couldn't be found.
And the WLAN-card is still not working.
Has somebody an idea, what goes wrong there?
I would also by another WLAN-Card, but i would prefer to fix the problem with ndiswrapper (it isn't the money, but I'm simply pised off by trying it for hours, and it would be much more sattisfying to make it work)
