I am using the following... ndiswrapper -l installed drivers: bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware (14E4:4324) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) how do i get it into managed mode, as iwconfig doesn't seem to do it, for diagnostics? |

No! NDIS doesn't support Master/Repeater/Monitor modes Have a look at the FAQ : http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/FAQ (Question 3) :-/ On 11/20/06, John H. <mis...@gm...> wrote: > > I am using the following... > > ndiswrapper -l > installed drivers: > bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware (14E4:4324) present > (alternate driver: bcm43xx) > > how do i get it into managed mode, as iwconfig doesn't seem to do it, > for diagnostics? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.

If you want monitor mode for that card, you will need to use bcm43xx. Larry |

Well, I tried that driver and it seemed to go nowhere:( I have dell e1505 laptop, and it has dell 1390 chipset which uses broadcom. from what i read, the bcm43xx driver doesn't support this chipset, and it has other problems as well.

What does 'lspci -n' show for bus 0b:00.0? Larry |

What does 'lspci -n' show for bus 0b:00.0? Ahh, it is a 4311. That is a PCI-E device. Support for that is in the 2.6.19-rcX series of kernels. I also have a patch to add that code to a 2.6.18.Y kernel available at ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches. The device is not supported in earlier kernels. Larry |

Ok, so what module do I use at that point? 43xx?

When you build the kernel, you will need to enable the Generic IEEE 802.11 Network Stack, and the Software MAC Addon in the Networking section, and the bcm43xx driver in the Device Drivers section. In case of trouble, please use the debugging options for both bcm43xx and softmac. Larry |

well, I use fc kernels now for time's sake, so it should have all that, i assume. thanks i will switch to bcm43xx at 2.6.19 On 11/21/06, Larry Finger <Lar...@lw...> wrote: > John H. wrote: > > Ok, so what module do I use at that point? 43xx? > > Yes.
