My System:
Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper
Compaq V5105 (AMD 3300+)
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) 000:06:02.0 0280: 14e4:4318 (rev 02)
Hey this is just an FYI of what worked for me!
I did end up using the latest version of "ndiswrapper" (however any version will probably work).
And thanks for the drivers comwiz18! I got several copies to load appropriately. From both here and here
But after installing ndiswrapper. And running...
sudo rmmod bcm43xx
ndiswrapper -i (your driver)
modprobe ndiswrapper
(“lsmod” verified ndiswrapper loaded)
Nothing seemed to work. I even tried your script here.
I could see my wireless network card using KDE Network-Manager when I used/found an appropriate driver with ndiswrapper. But connecting/activating it always caused the system to hang! For a week I couldn't figure things out!
Then one day (after I had gotten ndiswrapper driver loaded) I pushed that damn little "wireless antenna" button on top of my keyboard (windows activates this feature upon bootup). Every post I read said that in Linux those buttons didn't matter. But as soon as I pushed mine after loading the ndiswrapper driver module...
Whalla!!! Everything works perfect! I have 54/Mb connection (or so my system says). I can browse all wireless networks with KDE Wireless Assistant, and everthing works perfectly!
Hmm...I wonder how many other people have made this mistake with their systems?...
