Hi Jonathan thanks for your answer...
when i execute the command ndiswrapper -l, i got:
[root@... ~]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present
but when i try to run modprobe i got:
[root@... ~]# modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper
(/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not
permitted
i'm compiling ndiswrapper with DEBUG=3, and this is the output in
/var/log/messages when run modprobe ndiswrapper:
Apr 7 10:03:30 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded

you may need to reinstall Windows drivers

Apr 7 10:03:30 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper (loader_exit:1018): Exit
Apr 7 10:03:30 localhost kernel: ndiswrapper (wrapper_init:1536): Exit
thanks for any ideas...
regards.
PD: I'm using the driver bcmwl5a.tar.gz
