Now I've asked whats the procedure to switch from ndiswrapper to
actually using the bmc43xx.ko driver thats now part of the kernel tree,
and have been ignored.
Hi Gene,
I don't know if you have gotten the answer you need here yet. But, it
looks like you need the firmware for the card. I don't have any
experience with that myself, but here is a link to some info that
someone used to get it working on an R3000z:
http://lists.pcxperience.com/pipermail/linuxr3000/2006-June/007709.html
I haven't looked at the stuff any as I no longer have a functional
R3000, but it should at least give you a start.
Jonathan
First, its not a card, but a builtin, which should remove the pcmcia
code according to my understanding.
The above link doesn't appear to lead to the filename the loader is
complaining about???

Is it worth grabbing anyway?
