|
I have an emachines m6811 laptop with an internal broadcom chipset (bcmwl5.inf driver). I can use ndiswrapper successfully in DSL with the gui tool to get connected. I can't seem to get it to work with this alpha 2 release of dsl-n. I tried the gui unsuccessfully so I opened up aterm to do it manually:
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -l
sudo ndiswrapper -m
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper (this is where I get an error)
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.11/misc/ndiswrapper.ko):
Operation not permitted
Anyone with a solution? |

| I've been doing some googling and haven't come up with a solution other than possibly the ndiswrapper module is corrupt. Has anyone successfully used ndiswrapper yet? |
