Now, I found those drivers, but after copying them to /lib/firmware, and installing them, ndiswrapper -l shows this: [root@diablo yum.repos.d]# ndiswrapper -l Installed drivers: bcmw15 invalid driver! So: [root@diablo WLAN]# ndiswrapper -e bcmw15 [root@diablo WLAN]# cd /lib/firmware [root@diablo firmware]# ls bcmwl5.inf bcmwl5.PNF bcmwl5.sys [root@diablo firmware]# ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf Installing bcmw15 couldn't copy bcmw15.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 139. [root@diablo firmware]# I've repeated that several times, even with a full path & with & without the .inf appended. No install due to the above can't copy error. An ls -l shows: -r-------- 1 root root 658896 Nov 28 04:35 bcmwl5.inf So I moved it by hand, but that didn't change anything. I didn't really expect it to, but... And of course kwifimanager is still deader than last weeks news. Whats in your wallet? /etc/ndiswrapper that is :) Mine now shows an empty subdir named /etc/nbdiswrapper/bcm15 I have an SP30676.exe file which is supposed to be a 32 bit driver, worked on a gentoo 32 bit system Anybody else with a clueby4 here, please chime in. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
