similar to: CentOS 5.3 - Activating laptop wireless card

Been experimenting with CentOS 5.4 some more. In order to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom BCM4311) I need Broadcom's wl.ko driver (http:// www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php). It compiles fine after the necessary modification in typedef.h, loads and wireless works. However, as soon as I put some load on that interface (scp something from another machine, download

Made a minimal install, then added Gnome, etc, etc, now I have a full running system but: on the laptop I have a Broadcom BMC4311 that is not seen from system even if driver seems (b43) to be loaded If I connect an USB dongle with RLT8187 (high power dongle) I see also Broadcom BCM 4311 (high power dongle is working on another system):I guess tha USB port power is too low to make dongle work

WPA-2 (WPA Enterprise) fails with the new kernel(s) using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. I haven't tried other authentication modes because that entails changes in the wireless setup which I am loathe to make right now. (It's a Broadcom mini pci card, so I have to use ndiswrapper with this Dell laptop. Bummer!). Rebuilding the newest wpa_supplicant rpm from the FC5 source rpm's

Greetings: I'm just installed Centos-4 on an IBM T-21 laptop. So far so good. Now I'd like to pop in a wireless lan adapter. I'm looking at a buying a Linksys WPC54G adapter (although I haven't done so yet). After doing some searching, it looks like the best way to get this card working is via ndiswrapper [http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net] and then to use Windoze

Hello All, ?I have a Dell Vostro 1550 laptop. i3 core, 64 bit, 8gb ram etc etc. I had a nic interface, but some how the wired nic is not working.

Has anyone had any luck with getting the Dell TrueMobile 1400 A/B/G wireless card working under Linux? I have experimented with ndiswrapper, i have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work. I was wondering if anyone has found a native Linux driver for the card. It uses a Broadcom 4309 chipset. Regards, Peter

Hi Folks, I am trying to get my wireless network card work under dom0 of XEN. I could successfully install the ndiswrapper drivers and could see it being associated to AP. However I amn''t able to transmit any packets outbound. I could''nt even ping the AP. Interestingly when I run a tcpdump I can see few broadcast packets on the interface. There no rules in iptables for nat or

I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta

Hi all, I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Broadcom 1390 Wlan mini card (integrated) wireless lan chipset. I've got an init script setup to activate the wireless connection at boot time, however when the system boots the adapter doesn't connect. I'm not able to get a connection until after the desktop is done loading and I run the script from the command line. After some

I know, I know... don't use the non-standard kernels unless you have to... BUT: I have a D-Link N150 USB card. Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9030 NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271] This isn't supported in C5, but it is supported in newer kernels (ath9k_htc). So let's try NDISwrapper: # rpm -i kmod\-ndiswrapper\-1.56\-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

This is an abbreviated version of an e-mail that I also posted to the ndiswrapper mailing list. Compressing the long story, I ran into the same problem using CentOS 5 as I had with Fedora Core 6 and ndiswrapper: my laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 series with a Broadcom BCM43xx wireless NIC) would lock up or spontaneously reboot after a few hours if I brought up the wireless interface. I also

Hi Folks, I'm trying tio install WLAN - USB - Stick Netgear WG111v3. ndiswrapper -i wg111v3 works. I can see ndiswrapper -l wg111v3: driver installed device (0846:4260) present But after modprobe ndiswrapper the system freezes. Troublshooting on ndiswrapper-sites says: It's a problem of "kernel is using 4K stacks (CONFIG_4KSTACKS)" Solution: recompile the kernel.

Hi everyone! :-) I have a problem with making a wireless USB dongle work under CentOS 6. The dongle is known to not work natively under Linux and last time I used it (cca 3 years ago) I managed to get it working using ndiswrapper. This time I was hoping to make it work again in the same way. But the "yum install kmod-ndiswrapper" reports the following (among other regular stuff):

All, Over the weekend I purchased a linksys wireless-g PCI card for use in my amd64 box. I downloaded ndiswrapper, compiled, installed, tried to load the driver off the CDROM and it was a no-go. I have do this on another box with an amd sempron. Difference being 32 bit versus 64 bit... Seems there are no 64 bit drivers for the wireless card. Anyone have a wireless card working on a 64 bit

Hello CentOS admins. I am an AIX admin bent on learning CentOS. Yesterday I downloaded CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso, burned a DVD and loaded it onto a Lenovo IdeaPad N585 laptop. All went well, except for getting the integrated wireless to work. Here is some info and what I tried so far. # lspci|egrep -i wireless 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless

I'm migrating my son's Dell laptop from Vista to CentOS 5.3. He came back from each of his first two years of college loaded with virii and trojans. This year he said "Dad, can you give me Linux?" 5.3 went onto the laptop easily and after doing some research, I applied the guidance for getting multimedia working and got the nvidia driver loaded. That works great. Last

I have a Broadcom 802.11b/g hardware on my dual-boot laptop. Note first that in the WinXP partition, the wifi makes DHCP connections to my router with no problem. Since this was not working in my new CentOS 6 partition, and remembering that there was a driver problem with the old Fedora partition it replaced, I followed instructions founs at:
