New installation - card not in ifconfig
Hello,
I've just installed CentOS on an Athlon 2000+ machine I had lying around and cannot get it to recognise my wireless card.
The card shows up in /proc/pci and after running lspci but is not present when I run ifconfig. I have installed the latest version of ndiswrapper (not sure what it is) with the correct Windows driver that came with the card (bcmwl5.inf). Ndiswrapper -l shows that the driver is installed but is invalid. I'm assuming this is because it assumes the hardware is not present. I have also created /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 alhtough I have not yet created a script that will install it at boot up. It didn't seem to make much sense to write a script when the commands fail manually.
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Charles.
I've included output from various commands.
