First of all, I would like to thank for all the clues I got from this website and after solving my problem, I feel like an obrigation to share this knowledge.
I have a laptop DELL 5160, P4 HT, 1024RAM, 80Gb HD, Broadcom Wireless Card
We have basically 2 options to set up the wireless card.
1) Go to
http://www.linuxant.com, buy your driver and stop reading this article, you're done!
2) Do it yourself!
If you are still reading this, means you wanna do this by yoursef (congrats to u!)
a) Go to
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader...ernel-i686.php
b) Choose the kernel apropriate for your system.
To do that, open a console and type the following command line
uname -r
In my case was FEDORA CORE 4, KERNEL ARCHITECTURE i686, then choose the kernel to INSTALL in your FC4, in my case was "2.6.11-1.1369_FC4", and the file was "kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.i686.rpm.zip".
Now that you have the kernel to "install", you'll need the sources too, then you download the one with "development" thing: "kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.i686.rpm.zip"
To make your life easier, use GNOME when you logon (as root, dont forget!). Notice that you have to UNZIP the files before anything, after that just use the GNOME itself to locate your file, that will have a "rpm" extension. Click with the right click on the file "kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.i686.rpm" and choose "install packages", and do it, its really easy.
After that, go to "/usr/src/kernels" and create a folder with the kernel version, in my case was "2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16" and copy the files to that folder. To do this easily, I clicked with right click on "kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.i686.rpm" and choosed "arquive manager", then choose that particular location to extract the files. Notice that you have to find the files that has to be extracted, once you find folders like "arch, crypto, drivers, fs..." thats it, extract all of it.
Reboot the computer, and now choose that new kernel option, the one that will have 16k . Dont forget to log as root, now its time to download the ndiswrapper and you wireless card drivers. Go to
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=93482 and choose the ndiswrapper-1.2, cause I tried with 1.3rc1 and didn't work at all.
Well, from now on, just follow the ndiswrapper installation instructions (on their page) and you'll be just fine.
After done everything, if you still have no connection, no proof of success, and after been trying a couple different things, I decided to copy all my ".sys;.bin;.inf" from my "windows" drivers to the card folder, that is located in /etc/ndiswrapper/YOURCARD.
When I did that, everything worked just fine!
I hope this article can help you folks,
see ya
