I had ndiswrapper and wireless networking working on my eMachines laptop
running Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4. This afternoon I
upgraded to kernel 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4. I upgraded ndiswrapper to
ndiswrapper-1.18-1.lvn4 and
kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4-1.18-1.lvn4.
lspci shows my wireless network adapter:
00:0c.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
I still see the wireless driver with 'ndiswrapper -l':
Installed drivers:
netbc564 driver installed, hardware present
When I try to bring up the wireless interface, I get
[root@proteus log]# ifup eth1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Failed to bring up eth1.
In the messages I list below, I see references to "bcm43xx". Was there a
native driver developed between kernels 2.6.15 and 2.6.17? Should I be
making use of that? How do I do so? If not, how do I rescue my
ndiswrapper?
Thanks!

There is no need to use ndiswrapper with the latest kernel. I use a
Broadcom 4306 wifi card and native linux drivers.
The broadcom drivers are included all you need is firmware. Check out my
website for more information, the process is very simple.
