Guest bwhite757 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Hi all, I installed Mandriva on my system today and have everything working properly I believe, except for my wireless network. I can get my wireless network to work using the ndiswrapper option when setting it up, select the ssid, configure, and I'm up and running. However I have to do this everytime I reboot the computer. I tried blacklisting bcm43xx in the modprobe.conf file, but when I did this, my Broadcom BCM94311MCG card is no longer listed in the Network Center, and I'm unable to connect to a wireless network. I've searced around on the internet, and thought I had found the solution in this forum; solution meaning blacklisting the bcm43xx, however doing this makes my wireless card unusable. Is there anything else I can try?? This is driving me crazy... SOLVED: After doing a little more searching on the internet, I found the workaround for this problem: After getting your wireless network working correctly with ndiswrapper, go to the terminal and login as root: then type in ndiswrapper -ma Close, restart, all better... Wow, that was too easy.. Edited March 26, 2008 by bwhite757 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
