hello,
sent these posts to 'linux hardware' and thought i'd post here as well
- thanks.
i've returned my hp compaq nx6125 laptop 4x because of endless
problems with this wireless chipset. the most recent laptop worked
with winxp, sort of, it can't seem to do better than 100 KB/s. after
using ndiswrapper with the same driver (hp site driver), i got a force
message and now the wireless doesn't work on either linux or win xp?
on my first hp laptop, i had found a bcmwl5a.inf which worked fine. i
can't seem to find that driver anymore - got it from the web
somewhere. i'm trying 2 different versions of the bcmwl5.inf from hp
that don't work. any help would be appreciated.
sorry for the lack of info. right now i'm running zenwalk 2.6 - 32 bit
(slack based) with a 2.6.16 kernel. when i install the wireless driver
i get a force message. 'ndiswrapper -l' says the hardware is detected
and driver is loaded. 'iwconfig wlan0' shows the card. after
configuring the wlan0 with iwconfig, essid, mode, and key the card
doesn't show up in ifconfig after running dhcp. iwconfig still shows
essid=any instead of the network name i gave it with 'iwconfig wlan0
essid mynetwork'? syslog shows a timeout error from dhcp when trying
to connect.
apparently a driver for this chipset will be available in kernel
version 2.6.17 but in the meantime i'd like to find a winxp driver
called 'bcmwl5a.inf' which worked previously without force messages
after running 'ndiswrapper -i'. and, yes, i am running 'modprobe
ndiswrapper'
This site
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
gives instructions on downloading and installing ndiswrapper and also
how to determine which windows driver you need as well as where to get
it. I have just ( yesterday ) put a card with this chipset in my PC and
have got it working - well sort of.
I'm posting my own request for help with the next stage.

A native Linux driver shall be much better; try http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
Hope that helps!
