Acer Aspire 5002NWLMI
From NDISWrapper
Acer Aspire 5002 NWLMI
- Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 802.11 b/g
- Device ID: ?
- Driver: BCMWL5a.inf from driver cd of Acer (32bit)
Info
Using ndiswrapper from SUSE 10 DVD (32 bit) I set up access with WEP 128 bit encryption. For Suse 64 bit the ndiswrapper 1.2 bundled in the cd DID NOT WORK. It was accepting the 64 bit driver but when giving
modprobe ndiswrapper
I was getting an error message saying
FATAL MODULE NDISWRAPPER DOES NOT EXIST
I downloaded ndiswrapper version 1.1.4 and compiled it with kernel sources. It works fine now.
