- have you tried to reinstall the windows driver? - what does a plain: 'iwconfig' say? regards, toby On 8/1/06, Andrew Robinson <awrobinson-ml@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I had ndiswrapper and wireless networking working on my eMachines laptop running Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4. This afternoon I upgraded to kernel 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4. I upgraded ndiswrapper to ndiswrapper-1.18-1.lvn4 and kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4-1.18-1.lvn4. lspci shows my wireless network adapter: 00:0c.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) I still see the wireless driver with 'ndiswrapper -l': Installed drivers: netbc564 driver installed, hardware present When I try to bring up the wireless interface, I get [root@proteus log]# ifup eth1 SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory Failed to bring up eth1. In the messages I list below, I see references to "bcm43xx". Was there a native driver developed between kernels 2.6.15 and 2.6.17? Should I be making use of that? How do I do so? If not, how do I rescue my ndiswrapper? Thanks!
