Hi all, I'm having difficulty installing a Broadcom BCM4306 wireless modem in 
my Gateway M520CS.  I copied the bcmwl5.sys & .inf files to /tmp/driver/.  did 
an 'ndiswrapper -i /tmp/driver/bcmwl5.inf and saw that ndiswrapper needed the 
.sys file.  I then tried to remove the file using ndiswrapper -e, which 
reported the file was not installed, so, I tried again, ndiswrapper -i 
/tmp/driver/bcmwl5.inf & it say's it is installed.  Did a modprobe ndiswrapper, 
with no message.  Looked at 'dmesg',  "ndiswrapper:module not supported by 
Novell, setting U taint flag" & "ndiswrapper version 0.10 loaded 
(preempt=no,smp=no)"
The ndiswrapper is the one off of the SuSE 9.2 DVD, the bcmlw5.xxx files are 
from MS XP home, which came with the Gateway.  I do have access via 10baseT but 
I want wireless.
iwconfig doesn't find any wireless extensions.  
Any help would be appreciated...Thx in advance.
