I say again, I could use more help w/ndiswrapper.  I've been waiting almost 3 
weeks for an answer to my last post on this... :-\ ...details follow:

I seem to have the driver in place but there is still a prb:

yogi at flight5:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -l 
Installed ndis drivers:
password:
bcmwl5          driver present, hardware present
yogi at flight5:~$ ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

I did a 'lsmod' and ndiswrapper is listed in the mix:
usbcore               129668  6 ndiswrapper,pl2303,usbserial,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5 has the following:
yogi at flight5:/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5$ ls
14E4:4320:1799:7000.5.conf  14E4:4320.5.conf  bcmwl5.inf  bcmwl5.sys

Now, this works on Breezy 5.10 w/o any issues whatsoever.  Dapper, on the 
other hand, wanted to load the bcm43xx driver automagically and I don't need 
or want it.  It doesn't work.  I have tried iwconfig but that is pretty 
useless unless & until one gets the card online.  Once the card is online 
Breezy takes care of everything w/a 'dhcpcd wlan0' and I'm online at the 
downtown office.  Dapper is another story.

Guess I need more help. :-)

T/A.
