Fedora 6 "Zod" (instead of Vista)

This is ridiculous!! >:(

I can't find the correct driver for my wireless card.

(I'm on an HP)
-lspci manager says Dell Wireless Card...so I download that & try to install it on XP, error, hardware not found or something.
-Instructions say I can just use bcmwl5.sys file from sys32/drivers along with the .inf file in WINDOWS/inf that mentions bcmwl5.sys.  I find both of those file & use the ndiswrapper but it still says invalid driver.

SO, does anyone know how I might be able to find out exactly what drivers I'd need?
I've looked in the device manager & found the bcmwl5.sys file that it refers to & I mentioned above, but this ndiswrapper doesnt like it :(

Do you have the computer's specs?  I would look up the exact name and model of your wireless card there.

I just went & downloaded the drivers from HP's site after entering my speific computer model #
hp dv2125nr

still wont work when I copy over bcmwl5.inf & bcmwl5.sys

[Ergot]

Well... going by the fact that you're using the bcmwl5.inf you have a Broadcom card like me. Good luck! (Which kernel are you using? Try a 2.6.17 or higher kernel they added Broadcom cards, but it's still a matter of the planets aligning correctly for your card to work)

I think I have 2.18.2798 or so...

I have no problems compiling things... except "BLAH requires Ugh version 1"  and Ugh version 1 requires omfg version 29... and that requires...    ::)

[CrAz3D]

yeah...
with this combo of crap in my computers I dont know why I ever both trying to install anything other than windows.

downloading some new stuff right now to try, maybe that all will work.  found some directions that seem familiar to what I did last time...hmm

Not to sound like a BSD zealot ... but that seems like its only a Linux problem :P

Newbs often don't compile, and if they do they will probably won't be compiling WindowMaker.  I'm sure that gcc has either fixed or will fix that bug. :P

I've been compiling since the bottle.

The only time I've ever had that problem was with glibc, gtk and co.

Bah, I'm just toting pkgsrc and ports system :)

For Ubuntu, get automatix! It helps install those widely used programs by clicking a little checkbox, including ndiswrapper.
