bcm4311 driver ndiswrapper

[obavijest]

hi guys,

im stuck with a dreaded broadcom adapter, im using this guide
http://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper
to try and activate it.

the last step i took was

Code: Select all

cabextract sp32156.exe

which is the bcm4311 driver.
should i now unzip -a? i get a 'cannot find zip file.'

if i dont have to unzip, how do i know which .INF file to install(step 4)? pretty new to all this & my mind feels like its melting

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Are you sure the key is correct?
