  • 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!

  • 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..
