Okay, another step closer now. I'm going with the 1.7 tarball I have the windows driver installed with ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf, and it shows as present.
According to the
Installation wiki, I need to do the following:
depmod -a
modprobe ndiswrapper
The depmod -a works without an error, but the modprobe gives me the following error "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found"
From what I understand of it, modprobe looks in the /lib/modules/VERSION/ directory, but there is not module there and there were no errors from all of the previous steps. Am I missing something here?
Thank you again for all of the help.
