BCM4310 Broadcom Wireless Linux

[827rover]

this is what worked for me:

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

also needed to restart it and create wireless connection again.

you don't need ndiswraper any more. broadcom release drivers for linux its works at any 2.26 distro's

ndiswrapper has been around as long as I can remember fighting with linux vs ms driver problems. But I'll never use ndis unless there is a life and death situation craving net... and that's not often..

You really waited a whole year to get your Broadcom to work in Linux using ndiswrapper?

Hi,

Well, basically, I bought the laptop early in 2008 - it used to have Vista on it until I got a virus. So, I reformatted and installed Fedora Core 8. My card was not supported at the time so I just waited! Never bothered looking until a few days ago and to my surprise people have figured out a way to get the Windows Driver working with Linux (: Sorted! Now I'm wireless, after about a eight month wait!
