Hi there!

I am trying to get my wireless adaptor working using the 5.1.1 CD. It is a BT Voyager 1055 USB adaptor. I am (more or less) following the instructions in the network FAQ. Here is what I am doing:


# ndiswrapper -i /media/hda2/drivers/btvr1055/bcmrndis.inf

# cp /media/hda2/drivers/btvr1055/*.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmrndis
- for some reason it fails to copy the sys files. I found this out on another forum and copy them by hand

# ndiswrapper -l
bcmrndis: driver installed
device (XXXX:XXXX) present
- sorry, forgot to note down these numbers!

# depmod -a
- recommended by the ndiswrapper homepage

# modprobe ndiswrapper

And this is where I get stuck. The light remains resolutely off on the adaptor and dmesg | grep ndis only tells me that ndiswrapper has been loaded - nothing about loading the actual driver for the adaptor, so no wlan0 appears.

These are the exact same driver files it uses under XP - I copied them to my drivers/btvr1055 directory to make it easy to remember where they are located.

(PS I can't use KDE as I don't have enough RAM)
