Nonexistant interface

[brivy2008]

I'm really stuck. Ndiswrapper appears to be installed correctly with the correct driver, but the interface is still not coming up. Fedora 8 just doesn't see it. Please, I really need some help with this, if somebody has the time.


This is the lspci
00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03)
02:04.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
02:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx21/x515 Cardbus Controller

[root@localhost ~]# ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: ssb)

This is the dmesg
ndiswrapper version 1.48 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper


When I try to activate wlan0 this is the message I get
ndiswrapper device wlan0:0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

iwconfig shows this.
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

eth2 no wireless extensions.


[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/ifconfig wlan0
