Installing SMCWPCI-G in Ubuntu

SMC Wireless PCI card can be used in Ubuntu with ndiswrapper. First, make sure that you do not have acx module installed since it will conflict the ndiswrapper.

lsmod | grep acx

If you see this module, remove it first:

sudo rmmod acx
sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx /root/

Run Synaptic Package Manager and install ndisgtk, then run these commands below:

sudo ndiswrapper -i /your_windows_inf_file.inf
ndiswrapper -l (to list your card and whether it has been attached to the driver)

To load the driver, type:

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

If there is an error, you can see the error with these commands:

tail /var/log/messages
dmesg

To load the module automatically, edit /etc/modules and add line 'ndiswrapper'.
