| Ok, whilst I am not an expert I can follow instructions and this is now becoming a complete waste of my time.
I thought I would start from scratch, I re-installed Debian etc etc, followed all the commands and then I lose "eth1" again and STILL NO wireless connection.
If someone has the time, please read through the complete Terminal window and see what they think. Code: Get:3 http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main linux-headers-2.6.18-4-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 [269kB]

| Go into your network tool ( I don't know what it's called in Debian) and try to set the network from there.

| I have followed numerous forums to try to get my wireless connection to work.
This one has got me further as it include the an extra command for ndiswrapper which allowed me to get past the modprobe ndiswrapper command without a FATAL error.
I am now at this point. Code: debian:/lib/windrivers# ndiswrapper -i /lib/windrivers/bcmwl5.infinstalling bcmwl5 ...

If I try to follow any more of the wireless commands i end up losing the eth1 connection completely and it does not get listed on an iwconfig command.
I have also tried using the network manager on Debian but this causes the same issues.
Can someone guide me in from this point as I feel I am soooo close!! I am not sure on ESSID and key terminology.
Thanks | |

debian:~# ndiswrapper -i /lib/windrivers/bcmwl5.inf

So, we have a complete loss of the eth1 when I remove and blacklist the bcm43xx from the driver.
I am very confused, however, I feel I am learning!!!! I do hope this wireless card will eventually work as I am desperate to use it and refuse to give in.
I promise I will write a comphrehensive "how to" from a Newbie perspective once this is resolved.
From the lack of comments and help I am asuming you are all miserable secretive sods or it is baffling you as well. Please feel free to add comments, throw abuse or tell me to be quiet!! | |

So you are using the driver you downloaded and not the built in driver, correct?
You have blacklisted the builtin driver?
Maybe you should try the builtin driver instead of the one you downloaded.
If you get eth1 back up, andl launch the network tool GUI, will that make it disappear again?
I don't know where Debian keeps it's config files, so try this.
locate cfg-eth0
post that back here please.
The lack of comments from other forum members is probably due to the fact that your eth1 keeps disappearing, that baffles me too. And well they are probably a little secretive also.

| I am now talking to you from my sofa, the blue light is on and I am about to open one of those "special bottles of wine!!"
I will keep to my promise and write a "how to for wireless" from a complete newbies perspective by a complete newbie.
The first impression I have of Linux is that it is "very" specific and not in any way as general an operating system as Windows. This is the difficult concept to comprehend from a newbie perspective and consequently you feel that all "how to's" should solve you problem.
I have probably used a mix of 4 very informative "how to's" to build the correct order of commands to allow me to achieve the magical and elusive bue light!
Thanks for all those that mused over my dilema. | |
