Hi All;
I've been flopping between ndiswrapper and broadcom due to the freezes that the broadcom driver caused with previous kernels. Now that I'm on 2.6.27-11 I decided to give it another shot, but nothin' doing:
'Hardware drivers' Reports that the driver is "activated but not currently in use".
lsmod doesn't list a 'wl' driver, however it does list bcm drivers:
Code:
~$ lsmod |grep bcm
bcm5974 17152 0
usbcore 175888 8 bcm5974,uvcvideo,appleir,btusb,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
I tried removing the bcm drivers with modprobe and it disabled my trackpad, so not the right thing to do. ha!
Anyway, trying to manually add the 'wl' driver to modprobe gives me this error:
Code:
$ sudo modprobe -a wl
FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/volatile/wl.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: Error running install command for wl
So I'm kind of stymied.
Any ideas?
Here are some more outputs.
Code:
~$ lshw -C Network
WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.

Also on a somewhat related note, ndiswrapper stopped working too- is the bcmwl5.inf correct for 64-bit as well?
Thanks for the help,
