Hi
I have tried to use the method described on this page Ndiswrapper - openSUSE since my wifi was not working or say being detected in Open Suse 10.3 lscpi -vnn gave following output PCIID 14E4:4315 Broadcom USB 4310 Wifi this blog gave some information Colin's Blog: How to install Broadcom BCM4310 USB controller driver in Ubuntu regarding the windows driver .The windows driver is here http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R174291.exe after I unzipped the R174291.exe and went to DRIVER_US there was bcmwl5.inf file which is the required file as per the information given on the blog. So I did root@localhost root]#ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf root@localhost root]#ndiswrapper -l showed me that device is present and it loaded the said file but root@localhost root]#modprobe ndiswrapper give error FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. I am stuck up after this point some one please help I had compiled the latest stable kernel 2.6.31 but it was futile you can see clearly on this link b43 - Linux Wireless that the driver for linux for mentioned PCIID is under development in kernel 2.6.32 but still my some friends have ubuntu installed and fedora installed on which the same device is working properly so can some one help me out to find a solution?
