I personally don't own hardware that needs to run under ndiswrapper, so *I* can't bring up such a helper script, sorry. :) If you provide me the according command lines to get the bcm chips working with ndiswrapper I could add it to grml-tips if you think that would be a benefit for an easier copy/paste setup. ;) > Thanks, Mika and friends for another superb job.
