hi list,
i am trying to install a wireless network on a acer aspire 5020 with a
broadcom 4318 nic without any success.
ndiswrapper is installed
ndiswrapper -l reports:
installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
but in the network configuration keep having this message on activating
wlan0:
ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialisation.
Did you follow the instruction here:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation
?
What's the output of 'iwconfig' ?
RDB
with the driver in time of posting this, the output of iwconfig was:
[root@mbarwen ~]$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
i suppose it was because the driver is a win32 driver.
in the meantime i found an other driver, one for the x86_64
architecture. wlan0 is now detected but now he complains about the fact
it is compiled for revision 17 and the card is one of revision 18 and
that some options will not work properly.
and really, it does not work at all.
so i sent a mail to acer for help, got a ticket number but still no
answer.
thanks anyway

Stupid question, but is the driver even loading?
insmod ndiswrapper
lsmod | grep ndiswrapper
Check logs if not and see why not.
Regards,
Ed.
P.S. the revision 17/18 thing I get as well but it still works just fine.
