really appreciate if anyone could help me: It's about 1 month i'm trying to setup invain my wireless network connection on ubuntu 7.10, i've a dual boot computer with winxp that's working perfectly (surfing perfectly i mean...)
mi PCI card is a ASUS WL-138g V2 Wireless PCI Adapter
and my chip is the "monster" BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]
taht's my "iwconfig" result:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"DLINK_WIRELESS" Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid
RTS thr

ff Fragment thr

ff
Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
but opening the Device Manager interface, in the components (mounted?) list
i can find my "nightmare" listed: BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g
and in the "advanced" chipset menu at the menuitem: info.linux.driver: the value is "bcm43xx"
I also tryed to use ndiswrapper with bcmwl5a.inf driver, but it doesn't work too, but the true is that i wasn't be able to install and use correctly ndiswrapper, too much difficult for me...
is it wrong or it seems that my PCI adapter is correctly installed?
but wi the network in always down? obviously I've configured my network (ESSID, DHCP ecc. olaso giving static ip and DNS), but nothing to do, the network is everytimes not working
