Al,
not to ask a dumb question, but is your system set up to use the bcm43xx
module instead of ndiswrapper (modprobe | grep bcm43xx)? Most newer
distributions are using bcm43xx by default. If it is, then I would go
with that one.
If this is not the case, you may want to try uninstalling all of the
drivers that you have tried so far and try one of the firmwares listed
as working on the ndiswrapper web site. I tried several before I found
one that played nicely with my system.
Regards
Mike

Hi. I have here a new laptop with a broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI card.
The pci-ID is 14e4:4311.
I don't know, how to make it work. I installed ndiswrapper with the
bcmwl5.inf
driver, but ndiswrapper -l shows:
bcmwl5 : invalid driver
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
It doesn't work. iwconwing finds no accesspoint.
Please help.
Thanks
