I may have missed the entire point of the thread as I've only just
resubscribed but here is my working wireless setup:
apt-get install ndiswrapper-source wpasupplicant ifplugd
kernel-2.6.*-source etc (I'm not sure about ndiswrapper-utils)
(requires self-compiled kernel and modules ie
make-kpkg kernel_source modules_source)
Set up your files as below:
/etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# iface dsl-provider inet ppp
# provider dsl-provider
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# Minimal /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to associate with open
# access points. Please see
# /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.gz for more complete
# configuration parameters.
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
### Associate with any open access point
### Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
# network={

# Only WPA-PSK is used. Any valid cipher combination is accepted.
network={
ssid="goodview"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
psk=**********************[edited for my own security!]

}
/etc/default/wpasupplicant
# /etc/default/wpasupplicant
# WARNING! Make sure you have a configuration file!
ENABLED=1
# Useful flags:
# -D <driver> Wireless drive, typically optional.
# -i <ifname> Interface
# -c <config file> Configuration file
# -d Debugging (-dd for more)
# -w Wait for interface to come up
# See the manual page wpa_supplicant(1) for more options and information.
OPTIONS="-w -i wlan0 -D ndiswrapper -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
# EXAMPLES:
# OPTIONS="-i wlan0 -D hostap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
# OPTIONS="-i ath0 -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
Once these files are set up, run the command
ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf in the directory where that file resides (I
use /usr/src) (you also need bcmwl5.sys in the same directory)
then
insmod ndiswrapper
You can check with ndiswrapper -l
Hope this all helps,
Tim
