    Asus L3800C laptop plus Asus Wl-100g pcmcia wifi working (ndiswrapper with broadcom)

    At first I did bot get it to work on the internet, locally it worked pretty fast with FC3.
    I could ping my whole network but not outside it.
    So there seemed to be some resolving problem but where?

    Down my story. Suggestions on improvement are very welcome !

    My experiences:
    system-config-network as http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...ht=ndiswrapper
    did not work as only known drivers are in the list, not ndiswrapper. So I could not add a connction with Networktools....

    So I´ve done it completely manual: ndiswrapper v1.2
    make distclean
    make
    make install
    ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
    dmesg ndiswrapper

    PS: well see if I van get it into a script ....
    Now Networktools does see my wlan0.... so the presence of ifcfg-wlan0 seems essential..
    I can mod it now even better.
    If I ran ndiswrapper -m before the systems crashes, thats why I want a post script...
    Lucky me I had an image as it took the whole systems down...
    Security: not installed yet, my access point does not reach far....
    If I added wlan0 in the routing table with eth0 down Ie got a SIOCDELRT error, eth0 up and I could complete the addition.
    So I will have to test whether it is a one time event or it must be put into the script.
    I´ve used the dirver/inf form XP (2004 version).

    After a restart I only had to give the command:
    modprobe ndiswrapper
    ..... so that will be put in the last startup script from Fedora itself... rc.local (so far I recall)
