I have been trying to get my wireless card to work for quite some time. i've come accross similar solutions and tried several, but as of yet here is what I've got. I have ndiswrapper 0.12 installed. I have a dell inspiron 1150 running with 2.6.11-r5 for a kernel. The wireless card is a:
430-0923 Dell Wireless 1350 (802.11 b/g) Internal Wireless card
and in windows runs with a bcmwl5 driver. The problem that I am at right now is this: when I run
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
, I get this message:
Code:
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r5/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted
The output of ndiswrapper is this:
Code:
# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5  driver present, hardware present

The pertinent output from dmesg is as follows:
Code:
ndiswrapper version 0.12 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)

I'm really not sure else to go with this. Please, if I need to post anything additional, let me know.

You have a broadcom wireless card, so you have to use ndiswrapper at this time.

Hello.
I've been following the how-to instructions for ndiswrapper, and I still can't get past the "Operation not permitted" error,
please, has anyone else seen this?
One forum recommended taking out stacks from the kernel. Is this necessary?

inside /etc/modules.d/ndiswrapper I have uncommented the line
Code:
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

indise of /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 I have added the line
Code:
ndiswrapper
(I believe this should get around the modprobe error)
however, when gentoo is booting, it shows the same error as posted above, telling me to check for loadndisdriver.

Any ideas, directions, resources?

Thanks to everyone for all the various forums, it was using bits and pieces from a lot of different ones, and a fairly comingled configureation, but at this point, I'm sitting in the union of my school completely wireless.

w00t.

The computer is a

Dell Inspiron 1150
Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

w00t. I"m just excited. Here ends a random 3 week war against wireless.
The end.

Out of curiosity, do you have the following enabled in your kernel?
Code:
Loadable module support  --->
  [*] Enable loadable module support
  [*]   Automatic kernel module loading

Yeah, i check to see if I had it enabled, and I did, here is the section under Loadable Module Support
Code:

[*] Enable loadable module support                                               
        [*]   Module unloading                                                           
        [*]     Forced module unloading                                                 
        [ ]   Module versioning support (EXPERIMENTAL)                                   
        [ ]   Source checksum for all modules                                         
        [*]   Automatic kernel module loading                                         
 


Hope that is some help to you.[/list]

Just curious, what was the problem you were having? Someone I know is having a similar problem and I want to help him out.
