[Solved] Fluxbuntu Broadcom Wireless sees access point doesn't connect


The card is a BT Voyager 1060 using Broadcom Chipset.

At the moment I am trying to get Fluxbuntu working. Its installed and functional. I managed to install ndiswrapper, get a driver installed and the light is on on the wireless card.

I blacklisted bcm43xx and doing a "rmmod bcm43xx" says its removed, however doing a "modprobe -l bcm43*" says its loaded.

The card can scan through the built in network config or a "iwlist eth0 scan" but I can't get it to go onto either the network (WPA-PSK) or a simple Adhoc I made using my Pocket PC, though it can see them both when scanning.

Ndiswrapper -l says:

bcmwl5 : driver installed device(14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

Does anyone have any ideas what to do to get this on the wireless? I don't have a backup wired network.

Thanks so much

Simsie.

Solved it

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/j...mid,33/id,wpa/

I followed the instructions on there exactly, including the optional TKIP bit.
