Hi,
don't get my WLAN card running. Already tried 2 different dell drivers.
No success so far. Tried "old way" and "new way (ndisgen)". No success.
I can load the ndis driver but no device appears.
I fear that I need an additional firmware file. But I cannot localize
it in the original driver directory.
If somebody want to look at it himself I can give root access via ssh.
What I did so far:
# pciconf -l -v
none4@pci3:3:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00031028 chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller'
class = network
According to Win XP and Dell information its this card:
DELL TM 1350, Chip: Broadcom 4320
For the conversion to a ndis driver I used these 2 different
DELL driver versions (XP, German):
- 3.100.35.0 (from driver archive file: R90507.EXE)
This one already contained an ASCII version of the .inf file: bcmwl5a.inf
- 3.120.27.0 (from driver archive file: R102320.EXE)
In this self extr. archive no ASCII version was provided, so I
created it myself from the unicode version bcmwl5.inf:
I had to use the -c option for iconv, otherwise conversion was incomplete.
iconv -c -f CSUNICODE -t US-ASCII bcmwl5.inf.orig > bcmwl5.inf
The "old style" method for me was:

aklemm# cp /root/wireless-new/*.sys .
aklemm# cp /root/wireless-new/*.inf .
