I use a Netgear WNA3100 Network Adapter that needs a patched version of ndiswrapper to work. So far I successfully compiled ndiswrapper in both Ubuntu and Fedora, but it wont work on openSUSE 11.4. I installed all necessary software I need, at least I think so. I have installed the following before trying to build ndiswrapper
make gcc kernel-syms kernel-dev kernel-source ndiswrapper-kmp-desktop
Also tried installing linux-headers-uname -r as I did in Fedora, but in openSUSE it was not necessary.
Here is the errors I get. Google could not help me this time so hopefully someone at this forum can.
