Nice... nice... It was my pleasure to help you... Do not forget to run: ndiswrapper -m (to write the configuration for modprobe) That's it... _________________________________________________________ Lawrence Ferreira AIX, HP-UX and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Administrator LINUX User (openSUSE-10.0 & SLES9) #271016 LPIC-1 - Linux Certified Professional Jerry Feldman wrote:
Solved. Thanks to Lawrence Ferreira and Hans du Plooy. The problem was that I did not run ndiswrapper -d
Here are the steps: First, get the Windows driver. On SuSE 10.0 you need to install the km_ndiswrapper sources as well as the kernel sources. Once that was done, build the ndiswrapper module.
Here are the steps: first, identify the chip: you can run lspci: 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 4319 (rev 02) This shows me the chip. The run pcitweak -l: PCI: 02:02:0: chip 14e4,4319 card 103c,1358 rev 02 class 02,80,00 hdr 00 This shows me the pciid.
Then (as root) # ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf # ndiswrapper -d 14e4,4319 bcmwl5 # ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present # modprobe ndiwwrapper At this point run dmesg: ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,02/11/2005, 3.100.64.0) loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 217 ndiswrapper: using irq 217 wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:14:a5:4d:9e:40 using driver bcmwl5, configuration file 14E4:4319.5.conf wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP, WPA with TKIP, WPA with AES/CCMP wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
In the past, I performed all the correct steps other than "ndiswrapper -d"
