I have looked through MANY forums and found a lot of useful information in trying to install my Broadcom BCM4318 driver for my laptop, but at the same time have had no luck. I have never posted for help before but I'm to that point. Let me try to explain what all I've done so far.
# update-pciids
>> did this with no problem and when I run "lspci" it shows the name of my Broadcom adapter without saying "unknown device"
# ndiswrapper -l
2808w driver present
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present
>> not sure what the 2808w is but I'm not concerned about it
# ndiswrapper -m
Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
>> seemed to work fine
# modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
>> I have a feeling that this here is my problem... but I'm not sure how to get around it. When I run dmesg, there's no entry about ndiswrapper. Any suggestions or anything would be greatly appreciatied.
