After may attempts to rectify this issue, Uninstalling reinstalling. I was able to pull the driver out of my dual booted system, (ntfs-3g). In addition I found that the Module bcm43xx conflicted with ndiswrapper. All of this said, My card will show up yet nothing will broadcast.??? I've blacklisted bcm43xx. My wifi tools are the latest. With KWiFimanager my network is visible, still not connection. in network settings (control center ) my wireless dev shows enabled, however there is not an IP. So I assume that my device thinks it's up (yeah i tried ifdown/up)but not configured or needs sym link or pipe. Why is this such a pain? is there a better kernel patch? BTW 2.6.18-6-686 is my uname -r. agian I'm at a loss. Is there a way to map out how the ethernet is linked. I noticed in lsmod the ndiswrapper shows no usage, a clue maybe? I can plug my laptop into the router directly (defeats the purpose!!!) and I can go wireless in xp_home bcmwl5 is the driver i pulled out of the win/system32 folder. this thing is teasing me.
