I did find a reference which I printed out stating that my specific
wireless card was supported in Ndiswrapper, and I followed those
instructions to a T, but no luck.
This is the reference
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Suse%20Professional%
209.2
And, under this heading
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/List
here is the entry for my card
Card: Dell Truemobile? 1300 minipci 54mbps
Chipset: Broadcom BCM4306
pciid: 14E4:4320
Driver: http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R81433.EXE
Other: Works with WEP and WPA with either CCMP/AES or TKIP ciphers.
The INF file for this card specifies it should use 802.11b mode
(upto 11Mbps) in Ad-Hoc mode. If you want to use 802.11g mode in
Ad-Hoc mode, you need to change the setting IBSSGmode in the .conf
files in the driver directory to 2.
So, as you can see, I think that my laptop should be working. Several
people have claimed it does. But after 10 months of failure......
