wlan0 is configured in my network, but mdprobe -m still doesn't work. It'also now telling me that R102320 is the wrong driver. I'm confused. I did get my Microsoft MN-520 to work automatically, so I am online wirelessly - only at B speeds, not G.
hi galileo,
try ndiswrapper -m instead of modprobe -m. i don't know about the driver being not the right one though. try getting the newest driver or an older release one from dell. i saw that error before though when searching for my solution. it should be here in lq. if not create a new post, i'm sure you'll get a good response.
Hi, I'm new in Linux.
I aslo have Dell 2200 with the 1370 wireless card.
after i use ndiswrapper to install the driver(bcmwl5a.inf) for the card and use DMESG to check, I got the message that the driver can't initialize the device (can't request the IRQ 1). Can anybody tell me why?
Hi, i have a DELL B130 w/ a 1370 built-in wireless card that uses the same windows drivers as the 1350. When i get to step 12 i get stuck because iwconfig doesnt return any wireless extensions for me. I am currently using ndiwrapper 1.8. Its been awhile now that i am trying to get this card to work (the sound card too) but i just cant. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
hi
