Hi there,

I have a problem with my laptop ( Amilo 7645 Fujuitsu-Siemens )

When I run Windows XP everything works fine for me.

Under Slackware 10.0 with fresh 2.6.12 kernel and the 16k stacks patch i can compile ndiswrapper-1.2 without problems ( although i get the usual warnung for having 4kstacks activated ).

ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf runs fine, modprobe runs fine, iwconfig shows the device and i can even run the device in Ad-Hoc mode.

But if I set the device to run with my accesspoint via
"iwconfig wlan0 mode managed"
it simlpy changes to "Mode managed" but does not find any accesspoint!
I cannot set my essid via "iwconfig wlan0 essid wlan". No error, but also no change in the output of "iwconfig"
"iwlist wlan0 scan" returns something like "cannot find anything" and i really don't have no idea what to do.

The most "funny" thing about this is, that I had it running until a few hours ago... I just recompiled my kernel and added jfs-support to it. After this I recompiled ndiswrapper and reconfigured everything and now the thing "works" but I cannot find and use my accesspoint. Even recompiling my kernel again without jfs could not help!

Thanks for your help, tuXpert

My Broadcom 4318 wouldn't connect while using WEP until I changed my router to privacy option to "SHared Key". I previously had it set to "Open".

Hi there,

I just waited a little and then installed the fresh 2.6.13 kernel from kernel.org

Now everything works absolutely smooth and perfectly for me

My broadcom 4318 card on acer travelmate does not glow up when i boot fedora 4.i have installed ndiswrapper with irq error which i resolved usin acpi=noirq.
any idea how to power on the card.card works well in windows xp.
