ndiswrapper does not get a DHCP offer any more

Hi Steve,

It's running again, and as far as I can tell I didn't do anything
special. There were a bunch of new updates yesterday, so maybe that's
it. I don't understand this, it's so hit and miss...

I wish I had snything for you. Since you have the same wifi card, we can
at least check that you have the same drivers. I got mine from Dell's
website, under number r102318.zip (27 MB). The driver itself is called
bcmwl5.inf and the file Version.txt is (where I did add a few newlines
to make it more readable):
