hmm, the 64it driver I found doesnt seem to work.  Might anyone know how/where I can find a good driver?
amd64 processor, broadcom80211g card.  pciid is 14e4320(I think I typed that right)

Quote[root@localhost ~]# cd /home/CrAz3D/80211g
[root@localhost 80211g]# find
.
./BCMWL564.SYS
./Setup.exe
./bcmwl5.inf
./bcm43xx.cat
[root@localhost 80211g]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
Installing bcmwl5
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
[root@localhost 80211g]#
[root@localhost 80211g]# /sbin/depmod -a
/[root@localhost 80211g]# /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
[root@localhost 80211g]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5          driver installed

It doens't say hardware present...nor can I can I find any mention of ndiswrapper drives being installed (with dmesg)

Quote[root@localhost 80211g]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
netbc564                driver installed, hardware present
[root@localhost 80211g]#
.....now why cant I find this hardware?

CrAz3D

w00t, it works...


I have a 15.4" WXGA TFT screen on my HP Pavilion zv5405 (I think I do, pretty sure).
This monitor isn't list in my display hardware list, do I need to just find drivers and install them?

Do they exist for FC5.x86_64 even?...thnx

Going to write up how you got there, so I don't have to?

And good luck finding monitor drivers.  Just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (IIRC) to add your monitor specs.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

I've had excellent luck with ndiswrapper on my laptop using the microsoft wireless card.   :)
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

Well today I discovered the light thingy blinks... but I'm not sure how to find WAP's and connect to them :/

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

w00t, CrAz3D gets to may somewhat help people with something he basically knows nothing about! ;)

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation
(installation page, obvious)

My biggest problem was that I couldn't find the right driver because I have a 64bit processor.

What I needed to download/find:
-ndiswrapper
-kernel-devel for my kernel version
-driver

Once I found those few things (all the right ones) it wet pretty smoothly.

Installed kernel-devel
Extracted ndiswrapper & then did "make" & "make install"  (I had to use "/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper" as the ndiswrapper command, not sure why it worked like that)
Extracted driver.  Did /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -i /FILEPATHTODRIVER.INF.  Then I checked the list (ndiswrapper -l) to make sure it installed right (I sometimes got "driver installed" but no mention of "hardware present", need that there hardware present).

Also, I tried using rmmod on ndiswrapper before installing the driver & modprobe, it seemed to work after that.

Just following the sourceforge.ndiswrapper instructions should get you alot of the way there.


Here is my ndiswrapper thread @ linuxforums.org

You'll have to spend some time searching for the right drivers I suspect, that wasn't fun...I tried so many.

If you have a 64processor, ask me, I still have that one ;)


EDIT:/
WHOA, after editting my resolution and HorizSync & VertRefresh, this looks alot clearer, nice...
