I have Ndiswrapper running on an emachines M6805 (running a broadcom 94306) with kernel 2.6.6. While it does connect properly to my router and will ping both inside and outside addresses, it is extremely slow (as in several second ping times on a cable connection). However, it moves at a reasonable speed if I repeatedly press (not hold down) keys on an external keyboard (but not the built in one). Has anyone run into anything like this? In addition, when ndiswrapper is running and the wireless card is on, things scroll on the screen very slowly (ie I can read every line of dmesg scrolling by). Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com |

Perhaps my post helps you. Look a few lines above, there is a 'slow connection with BCM94306' post. I had not the same problems like you but perhaps you get a hint there. schurl |

Hi, Many people seems to have problem with this particular problem. What you mention about pressing a key on the external keyboard is interesting... * What keyboard is it? USB? * Is the USB Controller sharing IRQ with your WLAN card? * What (windows) driver are you using? Cheers, Pontus |

I'm not sure on that right now, as the laptop in question may have just acquired a much more serious problem, however, perhaps another M680X owner can chime in with the USB IRQ's. > * What (windows) driver are you using? The driver that came with the computer (bcmwl5a.inf, not bcmwl5.inf) Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
