hi all,
i am trying to install a wireless nic on my acer aspire 5024 wlmi
without succes.
is someone succeeded in such an attempt and if so how did you do it?
i tried with the original nic a broadcom 4318 with ndiswrapper and the
linuxant way. nothing helps.
I've used Broadcom 4318 on a Dell Latitude laptop (built-in NIC) with
ndiswrapper and it works just fine.
Your last email on saturday shows that ndiswrapper works with your Broadcome
4318, ie. you can see the wlan0, all you needed to do was assign an ESSID
there is no way to assign an ESSID to this
i tried
iwconfig wlan0 essid mbnet
iwconfig wlan0 essid "mbnet"
i tried by the graphical tool
i inserted manually in the configuration
file /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/14E4:4318:1468:0312.5.conf
i inserted manually in the configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
nothing helps
no manner to get ESSID assigned
How do you know it was not assigned?
Did you try
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0
You may have somehow set up multiple profiles. Do you have
files named ifcfg-wlan0 in subdirectories under /etc/networking?
If so, do they have the line:
ESSID=your-personal-ESSID
If such files are present and they do not have that line,
try correcting them.
