[Ndiswrapper-general] Installing of BCM94306

[keanu <ke...@hi...>]

Hey everyone

I had now about 3 hours to get the wireless minipci card in my dell
inspiron 8500 working. but it works :).

ehm, there are some problems with 2.6.0 (with debian, don't know if its
debian-specific):
when I compile a kernel I run `make-kpkg kernel-image`. at the end of
the build process it cleans the kernel tree (make clean). so the script
modpost in subdir scripts/ gets deleted. but its needed in the
installation of the ndiswrapper module.
you can rebuild the modpost script with `make prepare` in the root of
the kerneltree.
that was one problem.

After solving the described problem, I could build and load the module
and also load the windriver. Got the following message in dmesg:

> eth1: power management not possible

(i'm using the cvs version)

I configured eth1 and ran `ifup eth1`. well, I found my router with
`iwlist eth1 scanning` but couldn't ping it. I still don't know why :/.
I then changed the config of eth1 (other IP). again ifup eth1. and it
worked. probably I'm too stupid to realize my problem ;). I hope this
mail can help somebody.

and great work!! That's why I love open source :).
