I feel like I don't have the knowledge to complete this. I'm running a Ferrari 3400 laptop, on a 2.6.10-r7 kernel. Yenta Socket seems to be working. So if any one could give me a idea of what I need to do, it would be super helpful.

can U supply the output from ifconfig
Also, what version of ndiswrapper, and did you complete the ndiswrapper installation by pointing out the required inf file for the broadcom wireless adapter?

I am also using version 1.0 with the same card here.
It seems that ndiswrapper is not functioning correctly... Below if the output I get without ndiswrapper working: | Code: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:56:EB:B6:19

Once I load the ndiswrapper module with modprobe ndiswrapper, I get: | Code: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:56:EB:B6:19

Notice the wlan0 entry...
ndiswrapper -l gives me: | Code: | ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present |
Try the following: | Code: | # rmmod ndiswrapper
# mv /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5a /tmp
# ndiswrapper -i /tmp/bcmwl5a/bcmwl5a.inf
# modprobe ndiswrapper
# ifconfig |
If you get an entry for wlan0, then ndiswrapper is functioning correctly.. Just a matter of configuring your AP settings, and IP addresses, etc.

Thanks, I tried that and this is what I got:
| Code: |
Eithne root # rmmod ndiswrapper
Eithne root # mv /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5a /tmp
Eithne root # ndiswrapper -i /tmp/bcmwl5a/bcmwl5a.inf
bcmwl5a is already installed. Use -e to remove it
Eithne root # ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present
Eithne root # ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5a
Eithne root # ndiswrapper -i /tmp/bcmwl5a/bcmwl5a.inf

So sadly no lucky day for me.
I used 'ln -sf net.eth0 net.wlan0' would that be hurting anything?
Thanks for the help so far. |

No.. That seems correct. You can confirm that... | Code: | root@pandora /etc/init.d # ls -l net.wlan0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 25 2004 net.wlan0 -> net.eth0 |
What are the settings in your /etc/conf.d/wireless?
Mine looks like: | Code: | root@pandora ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/wireless | sed -e '/^#/d'
mode_wlan0="Managed"
key_HOME="XXXXXXXXXX"
preferred_aps=( "HOME" )
preferred_only_wlan0="no" |

Might I have a problem with the wireless config? |

I think that the wireless config file seems correct, as long as that is the ESSID of your AP.

| Happy day! I fixed it, you just have to get the CVS of ndiswrapper. And use this driver. |
