I've never used ndiswrapper (well, not successfully), just b43 driver. |
| 19 |
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 makes it sound like you |
| 20 |
need b43 or b43legacy depending on the revision (which is why i asked |
| 21 |
for the lspci output...). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It's not going to hurt to try both, get |
| 24 |
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 and |
| 25 |
and run `b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware/" wl_apsta_mimo.o` in the |
| 26 |
driver/ folder, along with `b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware/" |
| 27 |
wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o` using |
| 28 |
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
After loading the firmware, one of those (b43, or b43legacy) should |
| 31 |
detect it, else you may want to take this to the bcm43xx list |
