Roberts,
Yes, the following directories were created in /etc:
ndiswrapper & bcmwl5, and in the bcmwl5 directory
I have a lot of file names with
?:
?:
?.5.co
ndiswrapper -l shows:
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4318) present
sudo ndiswrapper -m
shows:
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.conf ....
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper adds ndiswrapper to the list of modules displayed by:
lsmod
I have looked at the file modprobe.conf and it contains:
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
iwconfig
only displays:
lo no wireless extensions
dummy0 no wireless extensions
And my PCMCIA LED's never turn on or blink when I execute the modprobe ndiswrapper.
(They always did when I ran DSL 4.4.10.)
I have tried both the ndiswrapper_full.tcem and the ndiswrapper.tcem files. No luck!
My next attempt was at forgetting about ndiswrapper and trying to use the B43 files
included in wireless-2.6.26.tcem along with the file wireless_tools.tcel.
I installed both downloaded files as FILES -> INSTALL OPTIONAL, then did a:
sudo modprobe b43
Now, when I do iwconfig, I can see my wlan0, and I can assign an essid "Airlink",
but from this point on I can't get my Wifi card to turn "ON" and connect with the
terminal commands:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo dhclient -r wlan0
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "Airlink"
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo dhclient wlan0
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I'd sure like to get my Wifi working.
My regular Ethernet works just fine when I plug in to the wired LAN.
I don't care which way I get it working, ndiswrapper or with the wireless-2.6.26.tcem
and the wireless_tools.tcel, but I do want it to work.
Thanks.
