I am setting up a Belkin F5D7010 wireless-g PCMCIA card (Broadcom chipset) under
ndiswrapper. I downloaded the Windows drivers and installed them using
ndiswrapper -i. There was no error message, and
ndiswrapper -l listed the driver as loaded, but not the hardware. I used
lspci -n to find the device number, and then
ndiswrapper -d to associate the driver with the card.
Now, I get:
Code:
# ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware present
modprobe ndiswrapper gives no error message, but
dmesg contains this:
Code:

and the power light on the wireless card fails to turn on.
Does anyone know what "code: 9" is?
Where do I go from here?
