I am running FC5 on an Intel Pentium-III. Today I upgraded via yum from 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 to 2.6.18-1.2257.
ndiswrapper refused to compile from sources, stating various various missing declarations. Up until now, I had been using ndiswrapper 1.15, because anything later wouldn't work with my wirelass card's chipset: "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)".
But for the heck of it, I downloaded sources for the latest stable - 1.37. That wouldn't compile against 2.6.19-1.2288.fc5 any better.
1) What do I do to make this compile?
2) Why won't a later version of ndiswrapper work with "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)".
3) Is there a better way to enable a non-supported chipset? I do need wpa (I'm using wpa_supplicant)
Any ideas?
TIA
