Okay, well. I popped up a terminal. This is what I entered.

ndiswrapper -i "path"
ndiswrapper -l
(Here is showed the driver)
modprobe ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -m
(modprobe config already contains alias directive)

I can't seem to get past that. I will be looking at the link you gave that other guy. However, if you figure it out first, please let me know. Thank you for your help thus far.

Oh, one other thing. When doing the iwconfig, you have typed #iwconfig. Is the # the prompt or does it need to be typed in also?

The # signifies that you are in root. When you type sudo su and enter you will see the prompt change to one with the #

Okay, still no good. I have read the link you gave to the other guy. Basically it said I needed to set my wireless network up with a WEP. So, I've done that and still no good. Basically, what I'm getting is this.

ndiswrapper -i "Path"
ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 hardware present
ndiswrapper -m
modprobe config already contains alias directive

SO, then I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver with the same results.

Next, I uninstalled and reinstalled but, before "ndiswrapper -m" I typed out

modprobe ndiswrapper

This did, as far as I could tell, nothing.

Then I tried to do -m again, with the same results.

I'm not sure where to go from here.
