What does this file say?

I would suggest that you download and install ndiswrapper from the testing branch.
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.58-2_i386.deb, ndiswrapper-dkms_1.58-2_all.deb, ndiswrapper-common_1.58-2_all.deb

I think you should try drivers made for Windows 2000 or XP.

Hi,

This particular notebook came with the Broadcom b43 XP driver installed, NO CD!

Q: Is there a way to hunt down the .INF driver file[s], used by ndiswrapper?
