Someone here had posted just a day or two ago about problems getting the Inspiron 9400 Dell Wireless 1390 to work with Ndiswrapper, or at least that is what I thought I heard.
Anyway I got it to work by surfing on over to the dell site and downloading
their new (11/2006) drivers which include a 64bit driver.
File name is R140747.EXE (self extracting zip).
You need precisely two files out of that zip:
bcmwl5.inf
bcmwl564.sys <--- for the Core 2 Dou machines.
Purge /etc/ndiswrapper with the ndiswrapper -e command,
rmmod ndiswrapper
and then configure with ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -m
modprobe ndiswrapper
and the wifi lite comes on.
Havent got passphrase working yet with my router,
but keying in the big fuzzy key did work in NetworkManager.
YMMV
