ndiswrapper over fedora 7 RC2 ACER Wireless not Woorking

[sharl.gabra]

hi all:
I am having a problem that is driving me crazy. I installed Fedora 7 Moonshine RC2 on my ACER 5050 laptop featuring WLAN from (godforsaken)Broadcom BCMWL5. :mad:

I used ndiswrapper to extract the driver and successfully installed it and now i can see the available wireless networks around me.

However, i was not able to connect to any wireless network either encrypted or plain. I can see the wireless led working. I do not know why the card does not connect.

PLEASE HELP :eek:

thx

What are you trying to do to connect?

What are you trying to do to connect?

from the NetworkManageer tray icon i keft click then i select one of the netwokr shown for instance open 3com now i can see the network tray shown connecting. However, after a few seconds either show connection failed or fail back to the wired connection if available.

If there IS a wired connection, networkmanager WILL prefer it over wireless. Unplug or disable the wired connection. If it still doesn't connect, probably bad signal. Either way, sounds like its *probably* working.
