I'm having problems. I've confirmed that my Broadcom 4318 is working; iwlist eth1 scan shows me both mine and my neighbour's networks. Here's what my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf looks like:
When I run sudo wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd I see a few things that don't look right. Here I've bolded them:Code:# Minimal /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to associate with open # access points.

I looks like you have similar hardware to mine. Maybe you could post your wpa_supplicant.conf?
@all
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get my new laptop online on linux.
EDIT: Nevermind, I have it working. I changed the driver to wext and ap_scan to 1. Though no one had a chance to help me directly, I'd like to thank you all for your help; this thread has really been helpful.
