Wordings For Birthday Thank You Card

Configure Wireless Card Broadcom 4318 in Ubuntu 7.04

I will give as I did, with the other cost me quite achieve ubuntus configure the wireless card, and never could stop the fwcutter going well so I use ndiswrapper and works very well. For those who do not know ndiswrapper is a program that uses windows drivers for network cards operate in linux (I hope this is good).

Let's start first thing we do is get the native driver is the bcm43xx ubuntu:

  • Open the blacklist file and added the bcm43xx driver

sudo gedit / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist

  • add the line: blacklist bcm43xx



  • Then in the terminal write: sudo




rmmod bcm43xx Now we have to install ndiswrapper and earnings per sinaptic, there are two ways:

Way visual:
  • Open Sinaptic from System / Administration / Package Manager Sinaptic
  • Click on the following:
    • ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (probably other utils already been selected, but we need them)

  • Click on apply and wait for it to install.

For console:

  • Place in a console:
    • sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
  • AND ENTER
  • give

Now we have to download drivers for windows ndiswrapper can use them. The link of the drivers is this: link

put in a console: sudo

ndiswrapper-i / directory where the drivers/bcmwl5.inf

We then put to see if the hardware was found: (We should find)

sudo ndiswrapper-l

Now let's add ndiswrapper to run when you start ubuntu in console put:

sudo gedit / etc / modules And add

: ndiswrapper



I hope you learn , ask anything, good luck.
