BCM94306 WLAN card isn't detected by lspci!?!

Hi,
does anyone know how to get this BCM94306 card to work? lspci won't even detect the card, so ndiswrapper naturally can't find it.

I'm working with a 64bit AMD Gentoo system. How do I have to configure the kernel?

I'm a complete beginner, so excuse me for any stupid questions
Sandro

Um, no offense, but is the card turned on? I know a lot of systems allow you to disable wireless cards from the keyboard. Is it possible it is simply off?

As far as configuring the kernel, you really only need to make sure that wireless (non-ham radio) support has been enabled at compile time and you need to install wireless tools.

Give these a try:

Download the latest ndiswrapper. I just tried these same drivers on my Broadcom 54g and Slamd 64 sees wlan0 now.
