when i check in pci information centre it shows my wireless card,"Network controller:Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11B/G Wireless Lan Controller (rev 03)
Subsystem:Motorola WN825G
So i know it can be seen i guess i just need a driver for it.Anyway what im really stuck on is people keep saying cd to the ndiswrapper directory so i cd to /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
then when i do "modprobe ndiswrapper"
it says "cant locate module ndiswrapper"
anyway i know need to know what people mean by install the windows driver i have downloaded it i just dont know why and im not sure where to put it can some one confirm i am supposed to put it in the directory "/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
Thanks nige
