Networking :: Wireless Mini PCI card problem

I have a Dell laptop with a Broadcom Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini PC Card. DSL wont configure it !

When I run lspci it says;

Netowrk Controller : Broadcom Corporation: Unknown 4318 (rev 02)

How do I get this Wireless card working in DSL ?

Could you please change your font color? I can't even read what you wrote.

OK, I could read it after I highlighted it. Ndiswrapper can be used with your Windows drivers for broadcom chipsets, I think. There are a couple of Broadcom .dsl packages in the mydsl repository. I don't know it they are for wireless or wired though.

This card seems to be a problem. I've seen it on the board a few times. It is also the card I have.

According to everyone else, it 'should' work with ndiswrapper. I have not found this to be the case. As near as I can tell, this card just won't work via DSL.

If anyone can prove otherwise, I'm all ears.

Before I trawl the www for instructions on how to get this card working. Can anybody tell me if I'll be able to add my encryption key or will I have to turn off wep on my router ?

(I'm lazy so I'd rather go on ebay for a wifi card that works)

This is just hearsay, but, I had read somewhere that this card actually only works when there is a WEP key set. Whether this is true or not I couldn't say.
