[gentoo-user] Wifi with ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant

[Jean-Jacques FABRE]

Hi,

I use ndiswrapper with wpa_supplicant. I am stuck and I can't access
to my wireless lan. I have no idea what to do next.... need some
advise

I have an Acer travelmate 4400, with turion 64.

My Wireless card is a  Broadcom Corporation BCM4318:
fabre-linux ~ # lspci
06:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

I installed ndiswrapper (1.5) and it seems to work fine:
fabre-linux ~ # ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5          driver present, hardware present

I installed wpa_supplicant (0.4.7):

in /etc/conf.d/net.wlan0  I have:
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper"

in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, I have
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ssid="campbellsrealm"
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0="1234567890"
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        priority=5
        auth_alg=SHARED
}


When I run "wpa_supplicant":

fabre-linux ~ # wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D
ndiswrapper -dd

and stop at this point, then followed with this loop:

and in the same time, if I run

fabre-linux ~ # ifconfig

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

I have only an ipv6 address, no inet appeared !!

and :

fabre-linux ~ # iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

I am completely stuck, I have no idea what to do next, I've read lots
of wiki but usualy they think that's part is easy .... but not for me
:-/

Thank for help,

Jean-Jacques
