my debian laptop runs Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge) and I use a pcmcia
wi-fi card(linksys)

relevant lspci -v out is:

0000:06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device
4318 (rev 02)
       Subsystem: Linksys: Unknown device 0048
       Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
       Memory at 10c00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

and..

justin@thinkpad:/home/extra/elina$ dmesg | grep ndis
ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ndiswrapper: driver lsbcmnds (The Linksys Group, Inc.,02/14/2005,
3.90.36.0) loaded
ndiswrapper: using irq 11
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:14:bf:ac:53:ee using driver
lsbcmnds, configuration file 14E4:4318.5.conf
justin@thinkpad:/home/extra/elina$


the 4318 works fine for me.  However I don't seem to precisely
understand the issue.

And yes Florain, Ndiswrapper is not at all a good solution.  It just
happened that I got a card and since I could not find another way of
using it, I use the wrapper.



in this case ..
http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
try to connect them (or get the newest source from the site), so they can fix
this problem. the driver is under heavy development.
