[Ndiswrapper-general] ndiswrapper working on Acer Ferrari 4000

[Jonathan S. <jon...@in...>]

Dear all,
after some minor struggeling I got wlan working on the Ferrari 4000 with 
ndiswrappers. 

Laptop: Acer Ferrari 4000
Chipset: Broadcom (unclear, maybe 430G) (rev 02)
pciid: 14e4:4318
driver: ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/ferrari_4000/driver/80211.zip
other: use the driver bcmwl5 (without a) out of the BG subdirectory. wlan will 
not work unless you first activate it via the front button: push the wlan 
button until you get a console message telling you that keycode e055 is 
unkown, then modprobe ndiswrapper. 

kind regards,
Jonathan
