[Bug 89896] Re: [herd-5] no wlan0 device after loading ndiswrapper

[aldin]

i almost have the same problem but i use bcmwl5.inf file for my wlan
card:

02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

there is bcm43xx module that ships with kernel, which i remove with
rmmod, after that

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
aldin at testing:~$ iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

aldin at testing:~$


and i have no eth1 or wlan0 (on dapper & edgy i had interface)

but now (herd5 03.march) i got no interface for my wlancard, btw i got
no errors or warnings too (btw on dapper and edgy this procedure was ok)


only this get in dmesg (concerning ndiswrapper)
