Dyslexic Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) Looks like you didn't install the Windows driver. Insert the windows driver CD that came with the NIC. The CD should automatically mount. I'll assume it mounts on /mnt/cdrom. Use the following commands: ndiswrapper -i /mnt/cdrom/Drivers/bcmwl5.inf modprobe ndiswrapper From there you should be able to configure the NIC in the Mandrake Control Center. Edit: I just remembered that your ndiswrapper -l output might be correct for the version in Mdk 10.1. I don't remember. Here's my output: # ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present Edited January 26, 2005 by Dyslexic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
