[Ndiswrapper-general] Need help with BCM(9)4306

[Felix D. <fel...@gm...>]

Hello,

since there is not much going on about my problem in the forum, i will
make a resume about the problem, and my questions here.

Compiling and installing the ndiswrapper module works fine. Loading
the module works fine. After that the device apears in the kernel logs
and iwconfig also displays it. When I come to:

#iwlist wlan0 scan

i get : No scan results. According to the FAQ there can be two
possible reasons for this:

1. AP does not send SSID
1.1 How to make sure the AP really sends the SSID?
1.1.1 I can connect fine through WinXP. However does thes mean that
the AP sends SSID?

2. Radio is off

2.1 Since my notebook (hp nx9105) has a hardware switch for radio
devices ( i guess this includes bluetooth and infrared - a 3 in one
switch!? ), which works fine under WinXP I think that radio is on.

3. Might there be any other reasons for not finding an AP?
3.1 I use ACPI. May this have powered down my chip?
3.2 When I push the "Radio on/off" button to power up the devices I
get a kernel message:

"ohci_hci: 0000:00:02.1: wakeup
usb 3-2 new full speed usb device using address 3"

However I do not know what device the kernel is talking about. 

3.3 I use the "driver2" - may it be worth trying other drivers? (the
one i got with the notebook, e.g.) I use this one since the comment on
the chipset list: Works with 64 Bit machines that are crunched down to
32 Bit mode, which mine, An AthlonXP-3000M is.

Thanks for your help.
