2) When you loaded bcmwl5a.inf, was the .sys file in the same location as the .inf?

There is a bcmwl5.sys file in the folder, but no bcmwl5a.sys
I did a lsmod but could not find bcm43xx. Here is the output, maybe there is something in here I missed. I also noticed that ndiswrapper isn't in there. Could that be the problem?
dylan:/etc/modprobe.d# lsmod
