ndiswrapper and broadcom

[hawklord]

i've got a usb wireless dongglything,

 

its a belkin g+ usb adapter, i have a belkin wireless g adsl gateway,

 

i connect by ethernet cable at the moment but i want to go wireless,

 

i have coppied the bcmrndis.inf and rndismpk.sys from the windows install disk and tried mmc to enable my adapter,

problem is it won't work, it says there is no interface,

 

i multiboot so i installed the adapter in windows and tried mmc using c/program files > > > .inf, but it still gives the same error

 

this is my ndiswrapper output

 

[dave@localhost ~]$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
Password:
bcmrndis : invalid driver!

 

another problem i have is that my mdv will not boot with the adapter plugged in, yet when its fully booted and i plug the adapter in it correctly recognises it,

 

i have -

 

ndiswrapper

bcm43xx-fwcutter

b43-fwcutter

 

all enabled

 

can anyone point me in the right direction

 

thanks

decided to swap the usb adapter for a wireless pci card (don't tell the misses :D )

 

uninstalled the bcmrndis driver

 

problem number 2 - inserted the pci card, booted my pc, extracted the .inf and .sys,

installed the driver and - nothing,

 

rebooted my pc - black screen, and again, and again - finally got it to boot,

 

checked

 

ndiswrapper -l

 

pc locked up, reboot and black screen

 

tried again and this time it told me the driver was installed - but no card,

 

checked

 

lspci

 

and its listed,

went to set up a new connection and it says there is no device,

 

uninstalled the driver, took out the pci card, closed the case and inserted my ethernet cable,

 

no lock ups, no black screens, internet running fine, wireless in the bin,

 

problem solved and i'm happy

 

thanks for trying, i just got fed up with going over the same things
