Broadcom network card with ndiswrapper

Gero · 05-29-2007, 03:46 PM

I'm trying to get my Broadcom wireless network card to work. I've managed to install ndiswrapper and load the required drivers in the kernel and such, but now i still can't get it to connect with my wireless AP.

I'm using wpa_supplicant to connect to it, and this is what i get:

Code:

# sudo wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

and then wpa_supplicant starts repeating almost the same text as above.

Can anyone give some input on what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance, Gero

That's pretty odd, I don't see any errors in that output. You might try adding -Bw to your startup code and see if that helps. The B flag puts it into daemon mode, and the w flag causes it to wait until eth1 is available. It could be that something isn't quite right on eth1 yet, so wpa_supplicant is thrashing.

will try that tomorrow, a bit busy atm

anyways, thanks for the input
