I have Suse 10.3 installed on my Inspiron 8500 (after some work!) and my wifi card (the TrueMobile 1450) didn't work either.<BR/><BR/>I followed your script pretty closely but took the Windows drivers from an install disk that came with the 1450.<BR/><BR/>A couple of differences from the script. After the steps numbered 1 - 5, after step 5, 'modprobe ndiswrapper' I didn't see the output you show "bcmwl5:driver installed<BR/>......"<BR/><BR/>Nothing printed at all<BR/><BR/>Second,rmmod firmware_class didn't complete correctly because the file was in use.<BR/><BR/>The blacklist file is in /etc/modprobe.d in my suse install and I chose to modify the /etc/init.d/boot.local file.<BR/><BR/>BUT IT ALL WORKED!!!<BR/><BR/>THANKS!<BR/><BR/>...btw...I'm thinking of using the DLink range extender card supported by Madwifi. do you think it would give me enough improvement to be worth the effort of getting Madwifi to work?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166690926007880820noreply@blogger.com
