Blacklist? Is this my answer?
Hello! I'm having some fun with getting a dell wireless 1390 to work in knoppix. I've finally gotten ndiswrapper to install and I get the very satisfying ndiswrapper -l to say bcmwl5 drivers present hardware present. Next problem is just getting the wlan configuration tool to recognize the card. I've seen one or two posts concerning blacklisting hardware. I don't see how to blacklist the necessary files, or really what blacklisting is exactly. Or the correct files to put into the blacklist. Any help is appreciated, and I will share everything I learn with anyone else down the road who may have a dell inspiron e1505 with the internal 1390 wireless card. Thanx in advance.

update:now I can't install the wlan0 module into modprobe
Okay, found some great posts on several different forums. Here's the steps I've taken:
ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
Got the hardware present driver present.
ndiswrapper -m
inserted into modprobe.conf
now when I do modprobe wlan0 I get a fatal error.
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument
There we go. More on the morrow.
G'night.
