I have an Acer Aspire 3680 notebook, I have a Broadcom Wireless adapter, and I have install Madwifi, and ndiswrapper, i still cannot use my wireless adapter. Can anyone help me.

I am using FC6, when I try to go through network and try to activate the wireless adatper I get this message.

Determining IP information for eth1... failed; no link present. Check cable?

Thanks, Carlos

If you have a Broadcom card, why would you install the MadWiFi driver? That's for Atheros cards.

What card do you have? (from lspci)
How did you install ndiswrapper?
Did it install without errors?
Did you install the Windows drivers? Any errors?
What's ndiswrapper -l tell you?
Is the ndiswrapper module loaded?
Did you look at the ndiswrapper wiki, by any chance?
