DELL 1370 config problem
Hi,
I am trying to get this wireless adapter to work for a
long time now. I have a DELL 1370 Mini-PCI and I am
trying to use ndiswrapper to install the windows XP
driver downloaded from DELL's website.
My dmesg gives me this output for ndiswrapper:
ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
ndiswrapper (wrapper_init:1534): loadndiswrapper
failed (1792); check system log for messages from
'loadndisdriver'
My sequence of commands was:
#ndiswrapper -l
No drivers installed
# ndiswrapper -i DRIVER/bcmwl5.inf
Installing bcmwl5

#ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
#iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
#iwlist sit0 scan
sit0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
Since I dont have the wireless extension installed it
doesnt surprise me that the scan doesnt work.
Can anyone help me? I am trapped in this and this is
the last step to finish my laptop's setup so it is
fully useable.
Thanks for any help provided,
