Ah! Yes, now I remember -- when I originally installed it there was a
big problem with the header file -- had to use "generic" or
something.
Can I just use apt-get uninstall ndiswrapper (or remove, I find
conflicting instructions as to the correct syntax), and then apt-get
install ndiswrapper? I bet that is too simple. The instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowtoUseNdiswrapperOnAmd64Ubuntu
said to start with "apt-get install build-essential fakeroot linux-
headers-`uname -r`" and then went through a bunch of other things,
also without explaining what they do or what to do when they don't
work.
I don't recall what that does, and the instructions just say to do it.
