| Fedora 7 or 8 WMP54GS ndiswrapper I just bought a new system with SATA drive. Cannot get Fedora 6 to "see" the sata drive so I stuck in the Fedora 7disk then tried Fedora 8 disk. When I try to use the "built in" module for my BROADCOM 4318 CHIPSET (LINKSYS WMP54GS with Speedbooster version 4), I can "activate" or ifup but I get nowhere. With Fedora Core 6, I could "blacklist bcm43xx" install ndiswrapper and use wmp54gs.inf.
With Fedora 7 and 8, I try to blacklist the built-in modules but when I "ndiswrapper -l" I get DRIVER INSTALLED (wmp54gs) using alternate driver SSB or BROADCOM43xx or "the built-in". It's frustrating because NDISWRAPPER worked fine in FC6. Neither Fedora 7 nor 8 seem to want to play nice. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to debug the system. Or recommend a better card for wireless. My internet service is through a wireless provider so I really need a good LINUX card. |
