Okay, so I'm trying to configure the wireless on this thing. I know it's a broadcom bcm4328 and I've found a number of good links via google, but no go. I've tried two different broadcom drivers I've located, but still no go. After following all the steps to get ndiswrapper working, all the links say I should see a wlan0 device, but I don't have it. Anyone else done this? -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin |

That's what I've been trying, but it's just not working. Got a private email pointing me to an XP driver that comes on the Mac install disks, so I'm going to check that out. > -Nick > -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin |

Excellent, that's the second vote for that driver, I'll give it a shot in the AM, it's been a long week today. ;) > > Nick Hoffman wrote: > | On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 9:19 PM, Geoffrey > <li...@se...> wrote: > |> Okay, so I'm trying to configure the wireless on this thing.

Okay, so I'm following the directions from: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=29659 Once I get to the point of 'ndiswrapper -m' I understand that 'iwconfig' should show the wlan0 device, but it is not there.

Apparently because they know some folks will setup a dual boot with XP. It appears that one whole disk is devoted to Windows software. Disk 2 actually is labeled 'windows support. -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin |

Okay, got it working. Searching google I found an ubuntu page that indicated that the ssb module would cause conflicts with ndiswrapper. I rmmod'd the ssb and ndiswrapper modules, then modprobed ndiwrapper and the wlan0 device shows up. I then was able to configure the wireless via System->administration->network. You have to: select add select wireless devices in the next window you'll see the driver listed, select it and configure it. This is working with wep key. wpa will be next... Sweet. -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin |

I advise you use wpa_supplicant-0.5.10 this has fixed a lot of my problems. It sometimes connects very slowly (even 2 minutes!) but at least you will have WPA working. Regards.
