Hello udutronik
Yes, the output from ndiswrapper -l does look deficient. I only have one card using ndiswrapper at present and that's on Sabayon. However, its output from 'ndiswrapper -l' is:
Code:
sabayonx86 ~ # ndiswrapper -l
net111v2 : driver installed
device (0846:6A00) present (alternate driver: rtl8187)
I wouldn't expect the Fedora output to look a lot different if it was working. In the days when I used ndsiwrapper - Fedora - broadcom I remember it looked pretty much like that.
One thing that is apparent though is that not all bcmwl5.inf/sys combinations are equal in ndiswrappers eyes.
I've got several variants here all of different sizes. I've attached the one I believe I used to use and you may wish to try that.
All you need to do is delete the previous one in /etc/ndiswrapper before using ndiswrapper -i on the new package.
I'd thoroughly exhaust the possibilities of ndiswrapper before you try anything with b43. It seems to be difficult to get the second one to work once you've tried the other without a re-install. I know it shouldn't be but that's just my opinion from watching what has happened to others.
With the 008 fwcutter you should use this package:
Code:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
and the package to cut is the wl_apsta.o file in the kmod directory.
