Hi there
sorry if my question has been answered in a previous post, can't quite read all of them...
When I run the script posted at the beginning of this thread I get the following errors:

The driver bcmwl5 gets however installed BUT:

ndiswrapper died with exit status 1
modprobe config already contains alias directive

FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

Any idea of what's going wrong? I've wasted so much time already on trying to setup the bleeding thing
Thx!

Hello Compqwiz,
Pleae take a look at my log file and please guide me what is wrong with my laptop. It's a HPnx6110. Every think went smooth but still i could not get the light on!
even setting essid doesn't work need help.
Hi folks, I need to make a change for convenience' sake. Presently my wired ethernet, eth0, comes up as the "default gateway." In order to access my wireless I need to go into network manager and switch the gateway. I assume their is a file I need to edit, can someone give me a quick guide for this?
Sure. I have attached it to this message.
I am also pasting the std/stderr output of your script for your records.

hi guys. i am desperately trying to activate my broadcom on hp nx6110 laptop.
it did worked without any troubles under dapper but when i installed edgy couple days ago it all went wrong
i dont have any cable connection available and i am trying to connect to open network in hotel's lounge.
i did everything according to the first page of this post... ndiswrapper seems to be properly installed and led was activated
however in the networ settings box i am missint eth1 or wlan0 (?) and i dunno what to do with that next
none of the available networks is available
rdk@rdk-laps:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware present
rdk@rdk-laps:~$ lspci | grep Broadcom\ Corporation

rdk@rdk-laps:~$ dmesg | grep ndiswrapper

rdk@rdk-laps:~$ iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 No scan results
and:
rdk@rdk-laps:~$ sudo rmmod bcm43xx
ERROR: Module bcm43xx does not exist in /proc/modules
my /etc/network/interfaces looks like
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
is that correct???
thx in advance for your time and effort.
any help would be greatly appreciated
