Hi All I am fairly new to Linux and just learning so any help here would be appreciated. I have a DELL 5160 running 9.3 using a D'Link AirExpert wireless PCMCIA and all works ok. But I would like to have an internal wireless card instead. I have got a Broadcom (BCM94306MP RE.4) and have tried to configure this. Linux does not detect this when installed so I have attempted to add it manually. When I configure it as wireless card and enter the MAC as the id it shows a new wireless card is being set up but when the config runs it keeps showing up and an Ethernet card. I use WEP for my network but this new card will not connect. What do I need to do to get the card recognised by Linux so that I can get it working. TIA Alan

What driver are you loading for this? You should be using ndiswrapper - look over the last week's posts, there was a fair amount of posts about it. Hans

I use a Wireless Bridge made by Belkin. This requires no drivers and works via an ethernet card.
