When I try to Install a new driver i from the Wirless Network Driver tool. conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. if not repeat above up to ndiswrapper -l with the bcm43x圆4.inf in place of the bcmwlhigh5.Iwas at 11.10 & upgraded to 12.04 and my Netgear usb dongle stopped working. If the dongle lights up your in business. You can check your up and running by typing Which should add ndiswrapper to your modules and add it to the startup items so runs on boot. inf files and ndiswrapper installed in a terminalĬd /home/your user name/wherever bcm.inf file is inf mentioned if that one doesnt work as it made my rig unstable. Locate the bcmwlhigh5.inf online or if you have a windows install then use the installer from netgear, install and the. (you will need the rpm fusion repos enabled) It seems from a little look about the the patches needed have been incorporated into the main version now so should work with the latest one from the repos. This would be all fantastic but the mrs insists i turn the computer off at night.Īlthough this bug may be tricky to solve im sure its a lot easier than convincing her who should be obeyed that leaving it on is a good thing. The only problem i can't get my head around is after a reboot ndiswrapper is not loaded and modprobe ndiswrapper causes the entire system to freeze if the dongles plugged in, If i plug it in after loading ndiswrapper it isnt recognised in network manager and also will cause a system crash.īUT if i reinstall (including erasing nf in modprobe.d) and mdoprobe ndiswrapper i can get online no probs. Not to mention enev harder to get running on an 圆4 system like mine:doh:Īfter 2 days of futtering i have it working at full speed using a customised install of ndiswrapper and for some reason it only works when i use both the bcmwlhigh5.inf and bcm43x圆4.inf in unison I saw on on ebay dirt cheap so bought it not thinking id have a prob as ive ised netgear suff in the past with little fuss.Īnyway as some of you know this card runs on a bcm43231 chipset thats notorious to get running in our beloved linux.
