As root:
ndiswrapper -i <driver>.inf (found on the CD) ndiswrapper -m modprobe ndiswrapper ndiswrapper -l (should show the installed driver)
I would also add ndiswrapper to the MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="" line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel to have the driver loaded during boot.

Thanks, Ken, As for the "windows" driver installation. I've download a driver's file listed in the wiki, ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wpc54gv2_driver_utility_v2.02.zip. It includes two *.inf files. Once of them with "$Chicago$" in the Signature within [version]. I'm guessing this is the right one and that bcmwl5.sys is the right *.sys file. Once I've copied both files to the Linux box, I've done... ndiswrapper -i lsbcmnds.inf Both it seems that something gone wrong. Here some outputs... citlali:~/Desktop/linksys # ndiswrapper -l Installed drivers: lsbcmnds invalid driver! citlali:~/Desktop/linksys # ls bcmwl5.sys lsbcmnds.inf citlali:~/Desktop/linksys # ndiswrapper -i lsbcmnds.inf lsbcmnds is already installed. Use -e to remove it citlali:~/Desktop/linksys # ndiswrapper -e lsbcmnds.inf Driver lsbcmnds.inf is not installed.Use -l to list installed drivers citlali:~/Desktop/linksys # Pleae, what where am I wrong?

Pleae, what where am I wrong? Thanks!!!
Best,

I think that is not the driver, but an install info file for a utility. Try ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5 in the directory where the .inf and .sys files are located. Ed Harrison, Linux User # 199533 SuSE10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26

You used the wrong driver name, leave off the ".inf" when removing the driver. I used the CD that came with my WPC54G card and am having no problems with it. Do you trust that _all_ of the required files were in the zip file? It also states it is Ver. 2, is that the version of your card? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
