Package: ndiswrapper-common
Version: 1.58-2
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper

Dear Maintainer,

I got a used pci wlan card that happens to be mrv8355 and needs ndiswrapper to 
work. I found that out from the Debian wiki here: 
https://wiki.debian.org/libertas#Supported_Devices

The Ndiswrapper Debian wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper

I also checked here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/mrv8k

So here is what I did and the results on command line.

miqu@TFC-1:~$ su
Salasana: 
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu# cd Lataukset/
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# ndiswrapper -i mrv8335.
install argument must be .inf file
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# ndiswrapper -i mrv8335.inf 
driver mrv8335 is already installed
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# ndiswrapper -l
mrv8335 : driver installed
        device (11AB:1FAA) present
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# modprobe ndiswrapper
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# iwconfig
usb0      no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

usbpn0    no wireless extensions.

root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# ndiswrapper -m
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to  ...
sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected
couldn't add module alias:  at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 882.
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# depmod -a
root@TFC-1:/home/miqu/Lataukset# 

After reboot another try no change. I suspected the lines to be added to the 
file /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 are needed for things to load up. 

If I can help tracing this down anyhow please let me know.
