Problem with NDISWrapper+BCM43XG

[Chris S. Wilson]

I've found out this is a BCM4231 chipset card, I cant seem to find any
information on the forums or anything about it, does anyone have any
wireless resources/forums they could point me to?

 

I've tried ndiswrapper+Linksys driver, and various bcmwl5 drivers, the
b43legacy/xx drivers in linux.everything, no luck. 

 

Please advise,

 

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)      Ran ndiswrapper -I bcmwl5.inf from the WMP300N driver on Linksys.com

3)      Modprobe ndiswrapper

4)      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
