Bug Description

Binary package hint: ndiswrapper-source

consequently the deb won't install. Looking at it with aptitude, aptitude agrees it isn't there. However I installed gcc 3.4 and gcc 4.0 just to make sure,yep no gcc present. So it may be a problem in your compilatons of gcc. I wouldn't know . I can't use kubuntu due to a missed error. IMO no internet, worthless.
Another huge waste of time tying to get it to run. Do you want to reproduce problem. You install it.
Not really a security issue.-If not on net, no problem. But maybe security person may fix it

Can you please install build-essential and try again? gcc alone isn't enough.

Hi Matt,
I have to eat crow, beg for forgiveness, grovel, brown nose, etcetera.
 I had tried to run ndiswrapper from command line when I first
installed kubuntu 6.06 amd64 without success. I got no response.
Since then I have installed gcc 3.4 and gcc4 with nearly all the files
necessary to make them run to install the ndiswrapper source. But
when I attempted to run ndiswrapper again in response to your email it
did, so I installed my ipn2220 with the 64 bit driver from amdplanetb
but it will not run

I will comment out eth0,eth1,eth2,ath0 if I can. I tried to trying to
edit as root but kate wouldn't load. Iwconfig won't run either.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Once again I apologise.
