Ok, installing wine with yum now. This should be fun, never having run
wine before... Humm, I typed 'wine SP30676.exe' and it installed about
20 megs of fonts! And at the end, a bunch of fixme's, and a flashing
kicker bar section labeled "Broadcom InstallShield Wizard", so I tapped
on that, and it ran, and now I have another section at the bottom of
the screen labeled Broadcom 802-11 with a text window icon. Tap that
for effect. And that gave me an error occured while launching the
setup with a (0x80020005) 32 bit number appended. So it blew up as you
said :)
But when wine was done, those files did exist. But ndiswrapper still
fails with the exact same message when cd'd to that dir and running
ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf,
"couldn't copy bcmw15.inf at ndiswrapper line 139"
Doing all this as root obviously.
HELP!
