Hello,
I am trying to configure my Broadcom wireless card using NdisWrapper.
Here is the lspci output regarding my wireless card:
Code:
0000:05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
Here is the output from lspci -n regarding the wireless card
Code:
0000:05:02.0 0280: 14e4:4318 (rev 02)
I am running Ubuntu 6.06 and here is the output of uname -a
Code:
Linux MarUbuntu 2.6.15-25-386 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:25:49 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
I hope this gives enough information regarding my system.
I followed the instructions
here from the Ubuntu site, but here is my problem even after the reboot following ndiswrapper installation and configuration: there is no 'wlan0' device interface; the 'Wireless connection' is shown as 'eth1' from the Network Settings GUI. So when I try to 'ifconfig eth1 up' I get the following error
Code:
#sudo ifconfig eth1 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
The corresponding message logged through dmesg shows
Code:
[17181793.732000] bcmw43xx: Error: Microcode "bcmw43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed.
Any help would be appreciated; I will be monitoring the thread actively so if you need any more information I will be around to give it.
I am aware of
this post with a similar problem, but I have not been able to solve mine.
Thanks in advance,
~Justin
