Re: Broadcom WIFI and FC$

Hopefully someone has found the answer I am looking for.

I have recently installed FC4 (2.6.9-1.667) onto my laptop.

My laptop is a Compaq Presario M2000 and comes fitted with a Braodcon
802.11 b/g WIFI card. 

I have not been able to configure FC 4 to operate this unit.

Hopefully someone knows how to correct this problem. I am brand new to
linux and am lost in what I should be doing.

Thanks in advance.

At the moment, the only way to use Broadcom wireless chips with Linux is to use ndiswrapper. Google for the ndiswrapper site and check there for information regarding our particular chip.

One possible problem is that FC4 may be generated with 4K stacks, which will not work with ndiswrapper. If that is the case, you will need to build your own kernel.
