Running kernel 2.6.0 stable and debian unstable (same problem running = debian stable). I cant load the drivers for Dell truemobile 1300 (bcmwl5.sys and = bcmwl5.in (?)). utils/loaddriver 14e4 4320 /root/src/bcmwl5.sys /root/src/bcmwl5.inf = gives me: Calling putdriver ioctl Unable to prepare driver Unable to put driver (check dmesg for more info): Invalid argument dmesg just says Unable to prepare driver. Compiling the modules works well, loading it (insmod ndiswrapper.ko) = also. But loading a driver doenst work. I double (and tripple) checked the = vendor and ID. Help please! Regards, Patrik |
