This should be fun, never having run wine before... Humm, I typed 'wine SP30676.exe' and it installed about 20 megs of fonts! And at the end, a bunch of fixme's, and a flashing kicker bar section labeled "Broadcom InstallShield Wizard", so I tapped on that, and it ran, and now I have another section at the bottom of the screen labeled Broadcom 802-11 with a text window icon. Tap that for effect. And that gave me an error occured while launching the setup with a (0x80020005) 32 bit number appended. So it blew up as you said :) But when wine was done, those files did exist. But ndiswrapper still fails with the exact same message when cd'd to that dir and running ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf, "couldn't copy bcmw15.inf at ndiswrapper line 139" Doing all this as root obviously.
