    I've tried getting my builtin wireless card in my laptop working before
    and was close, but could never get it working. I would REALLY like to
    use my laptop without being tied to my desk. Previously I could load the
    drivers, using ndiswrapper, and get all the way up to loading it, but I
    could never get an ipaddress. So I figured I would try again but this
    time remove wep and see if can connect.

    lspci shows me this:

    02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g
    Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

    When I try to modprobe ndiswrapper the machine locks up hard. After a
    reboot I see this in /var/log/messages:

    Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.4rc4 loaded
    (preempt=no,smp=yes)
    Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,10/20/2004,
    3.70.22.0) loaded
    Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 18
    (level, low) -> IRQ 193
    Oct 27 15:09:45 kernel: ndiswrapper: using irq 193

    I also tried reinstalling ndiswrapper but still get the same thing. If
    it's an IRQ problem, any suggestions on how to handle it?

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks,
    James
