    Re: HOWTO: Broadcom 4318 Wireless Cards

    I have tried before to set up the card, but ndiswrapper wouldnt recognize the hardware.
    With your script, has been the first time I had the card recognized with ndiswrapper.

    network interfaces:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    auto ath0
    iface ath0 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid kkkkk

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid kkkkk

    @aldegaz: Can you add
    Code:
    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid kkkkk
    to the bottom of your /etc/network/interfaces file?

    I think it was still ethernet, i am almost positive that the wireless was eth0

    i also noticed after trying again that there actually was some errors that i was missing, here is what the code looks like after i run the ndswrapper (or whatever it is called exactly)

    Code:
    dpkg: error processing ndiswrapper.deb (--install):

    can i please have the script to remove this, it seems that it has blacklisted my card all together or somehthing to that likes and i would like to try something else. also, has anyone else had success on this script with a mac cause that seems to be where stuff went wrong.

    I added the text to interfaces. I still get the Network Manager with a (!) sign and a "No network" text when I put the cursor on top.

    When I click it, it only gives me the Wired Network option. Even after rebooting, and even if I take out the PCMCIA card.

    @sublimeprogie: Your problem is that you have a PowerPC...the script was written for an i386 processor...which a PowerPC is not. There is no removal script, but it is pretty easy to undo. Edit /etc/modules and remove the ndiswrapper line. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and remove the bcm43xx line. That should uninstall it.

    Damn... that's the first thing that's worked so far . Thanks!

    I've seen a few things that could be improved in the script, so I might look at that a little more closely sometime soon.

    k, thanks for the clarification, does anyone know of some steps to get a power pc wireless to work, this is where i was pointed last, but it seems like i am another step into the forest. at least i am learning stuff along the way though.

    if anyone knows of a successful process i would appreciate it though, this house is pretty much completely wireless dependent and in order to use internet on the linux side i have to sit like 3 feet from my fridge where the modem is.
