I've gotten fairly far in the setup of ndiswrapper by "ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf" then "ndiswrapper -l" and it says "driver present,hardware present." I ran "modprobe ndiswrapper" and it returns a rather lengthy error, ending in: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17/misc/ndiswrapper.ko) Invalid argument. What did I miss/do wrong?
