Error WK1129 - WIBU-KEY kernel driver needs client version

annacegu · Post by **annacegu** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 3:01 am

Hi,

I am getting the following error trying to recognise a WIBU-Key

Error WK1129 - WIBU-KEY kernel driver needs client version

I am using Wine 1.1.44

Has anyone encountered this error before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and regards,
Anna.

Hi,

I just contacted the manufacturer and apparently I need to install a windows kernel driver, which is impossible with wine. Is this true? Or is there a way I can use this driver?

Thanks,
Anna.

Wine doesn't do drivers.... It is possible to get some USB devices
working with some patches...

http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

If a Linux driver exists for the device, Wine might try to wrap it to
allow Windows applications to use it... (Printers and scanners is an
example)

Short version: It won't work

Long version: With patience, USB device might work, devices that work
under Linux might be possible to get working by convincing a developer
to rite a wrapper / by writing one yourself...

Yes. Windows driver is useless in Wine. But it always good idea to tell the
manufacturer that you need Linux support.

Or is there a way I can use this driver?

Yes. Use VirtualBox with usb support (free) or VMWare (not free). If unsure,
try VirtualBox first: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads .

Thank you both for your reply. I will investigate further & let you know the results.

I forgot to mention that I'm running wine on an intel mac.

Anna:

Windows Kernel level drivers are not supported in Wine. Does this
particular piece of hardware have Mac drivers?

Yes, they mention having Mac drivers on the website but there's no download option. I am currently trying to get a copy from their support channels.

Do you think it will be possible to interface between the two?

Thanks,
Anna

Some modifications to Wine might still be needed to expose the Mac
driver's interface to the Windows application in the way that it
expects it...

Virtualbox/other virtualizqation is probably the easier solution...
(It is heavier on your system though..)

Thanks Gert for your reply. It turned out that I was able to download the Mac OS X drivers from the website. I tried a few things but the app still gives the same error msg before (i.e. the subject line)

OK, I'll ask that question to WIBU support... unless this is a wine development thing?

I would like to avoid virtual machines as much as possible (although I did try out VirtualBox), dual boot is better still but I do that rarely because of the time it takes to reboot. That's why I prefer wine, especially when I just want to do something quickly on a windows program. I want to have a decent crack at getting the app working in wine before I wave the white flag.

Regards,
Anna.

Mostly a Wine devolopment thingy... Although documentation from WIBU
would be helpful...

Unfortunately, the most likely way that this will get done, is of a
Wine developer needs it to work for onw of the applications that they
use...

(Of course, a user with the patience to figure out enough of how Wine
is put together (and to get a patch accepted) / WIBU themselves (For
that, it would help if it is somehow in their interest to have the
dongles working under Wine) might also do it...)

(The Wine USB support (which is in separate patches) might also work
for the Windows drivers (If the device fits within a certain class of
devices), not sure if it works at all under OS X... Based on some very
quick reading, it seems similar to things like the Sentinel dongles
that the USB support was initially done for..)
