Problem with NDISWrapper+BCM43XG

[Chris S. Wilson]

Hi, Has anyone had a chance to check out what I'm doing? I'm might be doing
something simply wrong, I've tried other drivers and whatnot, ndiswrapper
seems not to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated :). I'm still
working on this/looking for a solution. If I find one I'll post it :).

Thanks Guys.

Chris

Subject: Problem with NDISWrapper+BCM43XG

Hey Everyone, I just upgraded to Fedora Core 9 and..I have a Linksys WMP300N
and I had no problems with CentOS (had it installed last) getting my WMP300n
(BCM43XG Chipset) to work using the Linksys driver. Now it doesn't seem to
show up when I do an ifconfig.

This is what I'm doing:

1) Installed NDIS wrapper
2) Downloaded Linksys Broadcom 43xg driver from Linksys.com
3) Ran ndiswrapper -I bcmwl5.inf from the WMP300N driver on Linksys.com
4) Modprobe ndiswrapper
5) Ifconfig -a outputs no wlan0, just my Ethernet interfaces that already
existed.

In dmesg I just get:
ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper

Could anyone point me in a better direction? 

Thanks!

Chris
