ndiswrapper - Dell wireless 1390 problem
Hi,
I have a Dell wireless 1390 in OpenSuse 11 i586, 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae
/sbin/lspci:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
I installed the ndiswrapper 1.53 and and used the instruction in Ndiswrapper - openSUSE
It seems that the driver is installed correctly
ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: ssb)
but my wireless light is not tured on and when I use scan command for my wireless card it says:
iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
what should I do?
Thanks,

I found the answer! It was in opensuse ndiswrapper help and here:
Madwifi or Ndiswrapper Wireless Network Drivers - Suse/openSUSE 10, 11 - LAN & Internet access
If you receive a message like device (2001:3A03) present (alternate driver <driver name>), then you have a possible conflict with a Linux native driver and will need to add the name of the Linux driver into the blacklist file located at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
I have added that driver to black list and restart my laptop and it was ok!
I am now connected with my wireless!!!
