Thank you very much for every help. > > Take a look at ndiswrapper Also, don't use the ndiswrapper that comes with Ubuntu, as many users are having issues with it at the moment. For example: I would used apt-get to install ndiswrapper, I would install the driver (ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf) and would be listed as working with "ndiswrapper -l". Next I loaded the module "ndiswrapper -m", "depmod -a" and "modprobe ndiswrapper" and found in dmesg that it failed to load. After uninstalling ndiswrapper and installing the latest release from the official site, it worked perfectly. |
