It looks like you are still loading the b44 native drivers:

alias eth1 b44

Try uninstalling b44 firmware cutter, then give it another try.

If that is not your wireless adapter and instead your LAN nic, then not sure what to tell you.

Yep....that was it. I installed the wrong version (wxpython2.6) whereas I should have installed wxPythonGTK and it's dependency libwxPythonGTK2.8k

Thank you very much :D

This is a total python newbie question .....

I just downloaded and extracted a learning game for python called RUR-PLE, however I cannot seem to get it running. When I click on the rur_start.py script, it doesn't execute like it does in Windows XP, rather it just opens up in an editor. I have WXpython installed, and I am pretty sure python is installed too. Naturally, I am missing something obvious here. Would someone kindly offer some expert advice?

ok...got a little farther on my own....

[root@localhost rurple1.0rc3]# python rur_start.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "rur_start.py", line 31, in <module>

import wx

ImportError: No module named wx

Thanks:-)

Yes...but it may have been the wrong version or something. Next I am going to try this version of the driver (which I snipped from ndswrapper website). Mandriva 2008.1 ships with version 1.52 of ndiswrapper....so should work after I remove the references to the bcm43xx module in /etc/modpobe.conf

Also I guess I have to blacklist ssb and bcm43xx in /etc/blacklist-compat then reboot before attempting to load the nsdiswrapper.

Card: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG

Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02)

pciid: 14E4:4311

ndiswrapper: version 1.52

Distro: Ubuntu 8.4 desktop (kernel: 2.6.24-16-generic)

PC: HP pavillon dv2000

Driver: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe

other: unload module ssb and bcm43xx

Update:

--------------

Ndiswrapper works perfectly following these steps. so until Mandriva releases the 2.6.25 kernel as an update, I think ndiswrapper will be the only way to get this particular chip working. BTW....This works great using the WPA2 personal with TKIP/AES of my DD-WRT v24 loaded Linksys router. The key was blacklisting the ssb and bcm43xx modules in /etc/blacklist-compat and removing the 1 (or sometimes 2) references to bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.conf. I cheated a bit as I downloaded the drivers on a windows machine and extracted them to a USB drive.

My Compaq F759WM laptop (similar to HP G6000 series) uses the Broadcom BCM94311 MCG rev 02 wireless card and I am experiencing troubles getting it working. I have tried the bcm43-fwcutter without much luck. I also tried the b43-fwcutter, again without much luck. Even NDISwrapper didnt work for me.

Today I read the 2.6.25 kernel contains support (b43 supports new devices (BCM94311MCG rev 02)

Any guess when this kernel would be made available? I think the latest update is 2.6.24.5

Anyone succeeded with this bleeding edge wireless chip?
