I am also trying to run a wpc54g, however, on a Mandrake 10 system.  The
hardware platform is a Sony Vaio PCG-FX190K.  I had no known problems building
and installing ndiswapper.  I have tried loading both the bcmnwl5.sys and
bcmwl5a.sys WinXP drivers; each has problems querying the card.  The error
message I get in dmesg is:

ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
ndiswrapper adding bcmwl5.sys
PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:02:00.0.
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64
ndiswrapper: Windows driver couldn't initialize the device
bcmwl5.sys: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -22


It should also be pointed out that the kernel is called with the option
"pci=biosirq" in place.  Any ideas about solutions, known problems, or further
debugging?

Thanks.
