Wireless Help - Installed NDISwrapper + Driver Still Not working
Hi all,
My girlfriend's Dell Latitude had windows acting totally crazy and corrupted by spyware. I decided this would be the perfect time to try installing a linux OS, since she had basically considered it dead. I installed ubuntu and started following the directions on how to get wireless working, since the card didn't seem to be supported by the OS. Found some drivers, they didn't work. Messed around with it for about two hours, finally got NDISwrapper installed (I am a total linux noob) and tried some drivers. Eventually found my way to this page and used the first one (49)
49. Card: Broadcom BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] in HP Compaq nx6125 AMD Turion 64 notebook
* Chipset: Broadcom BCM4318 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
* PCIID: 14e4:4318 (rev 02)
* Driver: 32-bit driver version 3.100.64.0 from HP support
page (download SP30676.exe)
* Other: 32-bit Gentoo Linux system
with ndiswrapper 1.5 and Linux Kernel 2.6.14.2. I used the files bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys.
It says that it's installed successfully. However, when I type in iwconfig, wlan0 doesn't even show up. For all intents and purposes, shit should be working but it's not. And so I turn to you fellows. Any suggestions?
p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong section
