[Bug 86499] ndiswrapper fails to connect in Edgy Eft and Feisty Fawn Herd 4

[TFrog]

Public bug reported:

This problem applies to Compaq Presario R4125US.  Both versions of
ndiswrapper (1.1 and 1.9) load the Windows driver (and unload the
driver) properly but the network fails to connect on even an open
network.  This bug also existed in Edgy Eft with ndiswrapper 1.1 and
1.8.  Under kernel 2.6.17-10 you can compile source code from
ndiswrapper project version 1.37 and have a working Broadcom 43xx card
with some extra work.  With Edgy kernel 2.6.17-11 you have the same
issue as you have with Feisty Fawn.  However, you can compile
ndiswrapper project 1.37 source code with Edgy 2.6.17-11.  With a fresh
install of Feisty Fawn you can NOT compile ndiswrapper project 1.37
source code without errors and failure to install.  Have failed to find
any information on the bcm43xx-cutter for Feisty Fawn and noted not one
but two connections for wireless in Network Settings.  One listed as
Wmaster0 and the other listed as Wlan0.  Not sure which is the real Wlan
for my card.  A little input would be helpful so I might be able to
configure the card with at least the fw-cutter driver though it will be
restricted to 11Mbps instead of the full 54Mbps.
