I am somewhat confused now;
My PCMCIA plug-in wifi card
(for a laptop PC with Ubuntu 6.06)
is a [Cisco] Linksys "Model No. WPC54G ver 3";
I tried to look that up, via a search engine,
and I think it says that it has this chipset:
* Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 802.11/g Wireless LAN
* pciid: 14e4:4318
...Does that sound right?
some others who have been helping me, have been able to
get it working "using" NDISwrapper;
but it is intermittent; - - it will run OK for a while,
and then maybe fail to "see" an AP next time I try it.
I think some recent replies here
in this forum
have stated, that with the newer kernels,
it may not be necessary to use NDISwrapper. "after all".
Any comments?
Maybe I should just resign myself, that I will have to attend
an install fest or something, in order to really get set.
But meanwhile, "any advice"
would be appreciated...
