leon321 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Going through a lot of posts, I did not find solution to the following problem: How to install ndiswrapper on Mac OS X86 10.4.10. Current version is ndiswrapper 1.48. Installation under Linux uses make uninstall make make install commands That do not work on Mac OS X86 10.4.10. Any idea ? is it a way to install ndiswrapper there ? or does it seems nearly impossible... Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagbag Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I'm not sure if you can build linux source code on OSX. You could try building FreeBSD's ndis package which, I believe, provides similar functionality as linux's NDISwrapper. Again, I don't know how well FreeBSD kernel module sources build on OSX as the two kernels (FreeBSD and OSX) may have radically different frameworks when it comes to loading (separately built) kernel modules. You should try the Darwin project first to see if NDIS has already been wrapped for the OSX kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I dont think this is ever gonna happen. Neither do I. Why should you need ndiswrapper in OS X if you use real Mac hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 There are several posts on this topic, and in my own small way I even did some research myself. It seems deceptively simple.. NDISUlator a.k.a. Project Evil (the BSD vaiant of ndiswrapper) is a tiny amount of code, and although I have bothered every dev. I have come across to have a go, no takers have been forthcoming. The hard part would be writing the IOKit layer that produces a valid kext. I'm certain this would make an excellent project for someone, and the benefit in terms of wifi functionality would be huge. So if someone is looking to make a name for themselves in open source development, what better than to put your name to "Project Evil on OS X" ?

snakeeyes Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 ndiswrapper for os x would actually be pretty good for this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xieandy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 ndiswrapper for os x would actually be pretty good for this project this would be an excellent project indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastowl Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 would take too much work becuase the additions needed for the correct functions would be huge dont think anyone would code that much when only kexts are needed instead a whole program with many kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
