Hi James:
When you use ndiswrapper to list the drivers, does it say that the card is present? I forget the exact syntax of what it says, but it lists the drivers and if it can load the card, it says "hardware present" or something like that.

I've tried getting my builtin wireless card in my laptop working before and was close, but could never get it working. I would REALLY like to use my laptop without being tied to my desk. Previously I could load the drivers, using ndiswrapper, and get all the way up to loading it, but I could never get an ipaddress. So I figured I would try again but this time remove wep and see if can connect.
lspci shows me this:
02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
When I try to modprobe ndiswrapper the machine locks up hard. After a reboot I see this in /var/log/messages:
Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.4rc4 loaded (preempt=no,smp=yes) Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,10/20/2004, 3.70.22.0) loaded Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 193 Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ndiswrapper: using irq 193
I also tried reinstalling ndiswrapper but still get the same thing. If it's an IRQ problem, any suggestions on how to handle it?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, James
