Hi all, I'm having difficulty installing a Broadcom BCM4306 wireless modem in my Gateway M520CS. I copied the bcmwl5.sys & .inf files to /tmp/driver/. did an 'ndiswrapper -i /tmp/driver/bcmwl5.inf and saw that ndiswrapper needed the .sys file. I then tried to remove the file using ndiswrapper -e, which reported the file was not installed, so, I tried again, ndiswrapper -i /tmp/driver/bcmwl5.inf & it say's it is installed. Did a modprobe ndiswrapper, with no message. Looked at 'dmesg', "ndiswrapper:module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag" & "ndiswrapper version 0.10 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)" The ndiswrapper is the one off of the SuSE 9.2 DVD, the bcmlw5.xxx files are from MS XP home, which came with the Gateway. I do have access via 10baseT but I want wireless. iwconfig doesn't find any wireless extensions. Any help would be appreciated...Thx in advance.

I'm a little bit confused: Are you A:) using SuSE 10 beta with a package (ndiswrapper) from SuSE 9.2 or are you B:) using SuSE 9.2 completely and this has nothing to do with OpenSuSE ? If A:) is correct, then i would advise you to use the ndiswrapper-package which is shipped with SuSE 10 If B:) is correct, then i would suggest that you have to download a newer version of ndiswrapper, compile it by yourself and look whether it works now or not. Also i would suggest that you should look around for the right mailinglist, because this list is only for the upcoming SuSE 10. regards, Jens
