As yet though there are no lights burning on the modem card.

Again, that could be one of the aspects related to incomplete driver support due to WE16 and ndiswrapper. Were you able to broadcast dhcp whether the light works? If not, hold tight and hopefully the next version of DSL will better suit your hardware.

its not ndiswrapper that came with older versions

The version of ndiswrapper in DSL hasn't undergone updates. It's one of the roadblocks with 2.4 development in DSL. This will change in the very near future.

Recompiled and reinstalled ndiwrapper.

I figured that it wouldn't hurt to try with a newer version, I was using a older 4.x earlier.

It was broken in 4.2.3, and the same version of ndiswrapper has been in use (iirc).

I thought it would be worth a try

I have run into the same problem as others in this thread (ndis drivers & hardware present, but no wlan0) with my Broadcom 94306 using 4.2.5. I was wondering if there are any expected changes for this in the next release or what I may be able to try in the meantime. Thanks in advance.
