Has anyone configured WLAN on linux.... i am facing a serious problem configuring my WLAN... i tried using ndiswrapper... but no luck.....
ndiswrapper -l says invalid driver....
FYI.....
i have a broadcom 4318 card...
distribution : fedora 4...
latest version of ndiswrapper
I got my WLAN up with no difficulty. From the network-admin applet, i selected DHCP and everything works out of the box!
Had my share of problems configuring Atheros WLAN in Redhat/Fedora.But it works like a charm in Ubuntu Breezy.
Infact in my case its making use of mad wifi project.I also have a Wireless PCMCIA card using a Broadcom chipset which too doesnt work in Fedora/Redhat except for NDISwrapper solution.
What problems are you facing in NDISwrapper?
you need to use WinXP drivers. Not even 2k/2k3 drivers will do.
Look at this wiki entry
*ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Fedora
It has complete instructions for FC4 with Links to BCM 4318 drivers. Though those driver are from Acer, they might work for you as well. Try it.
