Finally, after help from many people on the web, I have gotten ndiswrapper loaded correctly for the BCM4318-based wireless card on my Acer 5000 (Turion 64) laptop running FC5. Since I did it wrong so many times it feels really nice to have it working. There is only one problem - it won't connect to my wireless router. NetworkManager (0.6.0, I think) shows my wireless network, plus a few belonging to neighbors, but when I click on my network it says 'Attempting to join the wireless network "Reading"...' and then eventually fails. What am I doing wrong? I can offer the following output from iwconfig:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"Reading"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:20:E0:3F:CE:35
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:25 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-44 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:115 Invalid misc:49690 Missed beacon:0
What little I know about my network looks correct on there. When I had NM and ndiswrapper working under FC4 it just worked. Maybe I was lucky. Thanks for any and all help.
