Getting My Wireless internet to work... Fedora 7

[MikeTbob]

And which module do i need to remove? I have no idea. But none of the wireless appears in the system configuration.

Well, I really don't know which module you want to remove or even why. how far have you gotten during the bcm43xxfwcutter process? Did you get it to install? Was there any error msgs?

insert the driver

ndiswrapper -i /link/to/bcmwl5.inf

this will list the installed driver

ndiswrapper -l

start it all up

modprobe ndiswrapper

If you get no errors, then go into system-config-network and create a new wireless connection.

I went to type in this: ndiswrapper -i /link/to/bcmwl5.inf
and it said bash: ndiswrapper: command not found

[MikeTbob]

I went to type in this: ndiswrapper -i /link/to/bcmwl5.inf
and it said bash: ndiswrapper: command not found

This is just an example, okay?
/link/to/bcmwl5.inf needs to be changed to wherever you have downloaded the file to. Lets say you downloaded it to /home/network/ then the command becomes
ndiswrapper -i /home/network/bcmwl5.inf
Does that work?
If your machine is just not finding the ndiswrapper command itself, then I guess it isn't installed correctly or something. Don't forget, each time you login as root, use the su - command, very important to include the hyphen -

[raiderleaf]

[root@localhost ~]# ndiswrapper -i /nidswrapper1.46/bcmwl5.inf
driver bcmwl5 is already installed
[root@localhost ~]#


I did that but when i go into the network configuration it doesn't recognize the wireless card. When i go to add one it doesn't list my card either.

[MikeTbob]

Ok then you are getting closer as far as I can tell, when you see this

driver bcmwl5 is already installed

Issue this command, and make sure there are no errors

dmesg

if there is any errors they will likely be at the bottom of this output, if you see an error related to network, post it here.

Post the output of ifconfig too.

When i go to the GUI for network, it says this to me (even tho it recognizes the hardware correctly, it doesn't say its a device, so i tried adding one and i chose from the list the only one from Broadcom the tigon 3 or something and it doesn't work):
tg3 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

You're getting there

Is this a laptop? Look for a button, maybe a combination of two buttons, to turn on the radio for wireless.
Did you run modprobe ndiswrapper yet?
Have you rebooted recently, sometimes fedora sucks like that.
I have to leave for a bit, hopefully someone can pick this up and help you a little further.

[raiderleaf]

My wireless light is on, its been on the whole time. I have not got modprobe to work because it doesn't recognize the command. I have rebooted a billion times to no avail.

[MikeTbob]

Well, modprobe is a system command, it has to work or it isnt installed.
did it work when you login with su -
how about /sbin/modprobe
none of these work?
