Hello.
I'm not 100% new to Linux, but I am to Ubuntu, and in getting a wireless card up and running under Hardy.
Long story short. 1 notebook. Needs wifi connectivity. The notebook will be in an environment where there is not internet access; just wifi access to a LAN for file sharing in a semi-office environment.
Notebook is a Compaq M2248AU. Uses a BCM4318 Revision 2 wifi chipset. Worked fine under windows.
I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/...ver/Ndiswrapper pretty much to the letter. I decided to use Ndsiwrapper with the current windows based driver because the bcm43xx drivers seemed to not like BCM4318 chipsets. So I went, downloading ndiswrapper-common.deb, ndiswrapper-utils*.deb and ndisgtk.deb, loaded them into my flash drive from another computer, and installed it in on the notebook.
I also got the windows drivers, and after ndiswrapper was installed, used ndisgtk (the GUI frontend) to install the windows drivers. Now it says that the driver is installed.
I tried to load the driver module into memory with the instructions here(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#Load%20the%20new%20driver%20module). iwconfig does seen wlan0, and my wireless card, but the wifi light doesn't come on, and pressing it makes no difference.
The instructions say:
Roaming mode is enabled, but the dropdown box doesn't show any wlan's, and certainly not the one I need to connect to!
Any ideas? Any help will be much apperciated.
