Hi,

I have just change to suse 10.3 and i'm using the same version of ndiswrapper 1.49 and the same inf file for the wireless.

This are the information output from terminal

DellCM:/home/chongming # ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
        device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

DellCM:/home/chongming # ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
        device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

suse 10.3 is able to detect my network card, but it is not working. I'm not able to turn on the wireless card.

What are the steps i need to do? Thanks

Hello vitalstrike82!

Make sure you have disabled the in-built driver.

rmmod bcm43xx
echo "blacklist bcm43xx" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

post the output of

iwconfig 
lsmod | grep ndiswrapper
