using dmesg I'am getting this mesg:

ndiswrapper version 0.8+CVS loaded
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5.sys added
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:02:00.0. Please try using pci=biosirq .
ndiswrapper: Windows driver couldn't initialize the device
bcmwl5.sys: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error

wireless card is wpc54g


help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone knows how to solve this??????????

thx in advance!!

Is that a CVS version of ndiswrapper? If so... First thing i would try is remove it and go with whatever the latest stable is.

Not sure about the card, but have you tried the windows driver that was included with the disk?

ok , follow what trey85stang suggested

used now ndiswrapper 0.8 ( latest stable) and used the driver from the original cd, now getting this mesg, almost similar


ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
ndiswrapper adding lsbcmnds.sys

ndiswrapper: Windows driver couldn't initialize the device

Anyone knows what is the meaning of this line that is showed on dmesg when I was trying to modprobe ndiswrapper?????

A little googling suggests that this problem is related to ACPI possibly being disabled. There is a section in the ndiswrapper faq suggesting ways to deal with ACPI.

Thx Hangdog42 for your help,

As Hangdog42 suggested, I noticed that I have ACPI off, but my computer won't even boot if I have ACPI activated, got this problem when I was trying to install fedora, the installation wasn't booting, so after a long googling I found out that I have to turn off ACPI in the installation, I followed installing fedora with ACPI off.

Now that I tried with ACPI on, the system won't reboot....

Anyone knows how to manually activate ACPI once I'm inside fedora or a trick that can make my pc boot with
ACPI on???

THX everybody for your help so far !

After googling for a while I found out that my laptop ( sony fx120) has a known problem loading ACPI

thx for everyone for your help.

If I ACPI=on, pc won't boot, else if ACPI = off , pcmcia won't work

now I really need HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

You may want to start a new thread on this question (maybe the hardware forum?). I know I don't have a clue how to solve this one.
