Ok well I have been getting better at linux but now I am trying to tackle getting my wireless system up.

First off the basics:
Debian kernel 2.6.8

I have choosen the ndiswrapper (ver .10) over driverloader and am now trying to get it to work.

I have read the wiki and searched many of the mail archives and I just can not find out exactly what my problem is here.

First off my output from lspci

0000:00:0c.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

then my output from lspci -n

0000:00:0c.0 0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 02)

I have located the right drivers and have the inf and sys file that is required and load them up. After that I do ndiswrapper -l and get the following.

Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 hardware present

So far so good but now is where I run into problems. Trying to load the module I do

modprobe ndiswrapper
I then look at dmesg here are the lines that relate to the above.

lsmod does not list ndiswrapper


also my version of gcc are the same for the module and the kernel which I guess is a common problem.

I also made sure that I have module support, and wireless (non radio) support compiled into the kernel.


Please any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ok I fixed it. After I posted it here I looked and thought... wow they all reference usb... then it hit me that I had not built in USB support... dummy me.
