Im using a Broadcom 802.11g Adapter and an Broadcom Internal Card as well.

sPiN in the #suse chat was drunk but suggested that the ndiswrapper would be the only way to go with the broadcom due to lack of support

I've used NDISwrapper before, it worked like a champ. Just make sure you follow the directions, it isn't really obvious how it works until you finish installing and get it working the first time.

Just got done installing it on an old box. Had lots of trouble with failed packages but just ignored them and once I got the install done it updated and installed all the packages that failed. Now I am just configuring everything the way I like it. So far I like it. Nice look to it. I am pleased so far.

I keep getting invalid driver error

Still having Trouble with this ndiswrapper, Cant seem to find a good driver i guess, cant I use the driver that windows has installed?

StcChief 03-31-2006 12:34 PM
Unless the Driver is written for portabality between OS
In Java, C or machine assembler I would say no.
Just a recompile in new os may fix it....
(Spoken in developer terms)

Most distribute seperate drivers and software by
machine or OS depending on the driver need.

Google may help find this answer.

ugh, Broadcom...

Sorry, may be stuck with ndiswrapper.

Personally, I'd just spend the $35 and buy a new card.

I like having the Internal card so i dont have anything sticking out of the PC,

I just cant find a driver for the broadcom to work with the ndiswrapper

Does it have to be an .inf file or can it be a .sys or .dll ?

It doesn't have to be depends on what the Driver OS writer set it up to be (from what I recall for definition in registry for the driver class)...
Telling the OS and managing in registry is key.

Back to the driver and OS again.

I understood that there was no true "registry" in linux,
