The problem is that there is no kernel-headers package with the same exact package version as the installed kernel version.

The installed kernel is reported as 2.6.18-3-486 by uname -a. The only kernel headers package available with apt-get for Sid or Etch is 2.6.18-6.

Are you sure you have both the linux-kernel-headers and the
linux-headers-2.6.18-4-486 packages installed?


You know, just rtfm would do the trick.

# module-assistant update
# module-assistant prepare

This should fetch any files you need for building kernel modules, including the headers. AFAIK it doesn't matter wether your headers are x.y.z-a and the image installed is x.y.z.-b but just let module assistant figure that out for you.

Then simplest would be to

# module-assitant auto-install ndiswrapper

but i don't know if it's really ndiswrapper and not ndis-wrapper or something else, if unsure either check you /usr/src/modules directory or simply call module-assistant without any commands and you'll be able to select from a list.

Hope I could help, Roman.
