Hello All,

I am not sure what happened to my machine but for whatever reason, my wireless card has stopped functioning all together.

I basically rebooted my machine, cause my network dropped but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

I am running FC4 and using ndiswrapper since it doesn't have supporter drivers for Broadcom WIFI cards.

Things I have tried:

1. Tried specifying my network settings via the gui and via command line
2. Created a new network profile and entered my settings (using dhcp and static IP address)
3. Re-installed ndiswrapper and Broadcom drivers

In between all of these I ran dmesg to try and see what was going on but all I saw was:

ACPI-0105: *** Error: Could not allocate new owner_id (32 max), AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT
ACPI-0509: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.BAT1._BST] (Node dfe261c0), AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT

And there are no other messages.

In /var/log/messages I saw:
Oct 13 09:14:20 Blade dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
Oct 13 09:14:21 Blade dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Oct 13 09:14:21 Blade dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

When I do an ifconfig I see:

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:4B:9F:99:9E

Can any tell me anyway i can fix this?
