Many thanks BrianL.
The key was to enter ndiswrapper for the module name. I had wrongly entered the module name as BCM43xx. Now that I am talking to my wireless router OK I cannot get out onto the Internet with Firefox. Any clues/help appreciated. I have not configured any Firewall yet and have configured the address of the gateway as my router. But all I get is Server not found. How do I configure Firefox to use the wireless router as my DNS server? JimC |
