I've been desperate to make the change over to Linux for months now but my laptop's wireless card has always screwed me over. My laptop, the HP 15-bw029na has the Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n wireless network card and the drivers are available here. I was originally going to use Kali Linux (I'm not new to PCs and I am by no means a newbie) but I as well as others online could not get ndiswrapper to install, so I switched to Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon x64 but STILL cannot install ndiswrapper. As per the installation tutorial, I am supposed to run
Code: Select all
sudo make uninstall
Code: Select all
sudo make
Code: Select all
make -C utils
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/will/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.61/utils'
gcc -g -Wall -I../driver -o loadndisdriver loadndisdriver.c
loadndisdriver.c:15:20: fatal error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
Edit: I managed to install ndisgtk but whenever I ran it and typed in the admin password, it wouldn't open. I tried reinstalling but now, of course, the ethernet is only working for a few seconds when I boot up. then it just says it's connecting and does nothing. I am so infuriated right now, some one please help.
