I just installed debian a week ago. After quite a bit of wrangling, I got ndiswrapper working for my integrated wireless (bcmwl5) - on kernel version 2.6.8. Today I got the image to move up to 2.6.11, but ndiswrapper now does not work right.
ifup gives an invalid device message. Everything seems right under ndiswrapper -l (in that the driver and hardware are present), but ndiswrapper does not have a listing under modprobe. I couldn't find an updated ndiswrapper package in aptitude for the new kernel version, so I tried copying the old 2.6.8-386 version from /lib/modules/misc into a 2.6.11-686 folder of the same name. But when I modprobed it, it said the package was invalid.
Is there a way to get ndiswrapper to work with the latest kernel? Should I be recompliling ndiswrapper locally? Any help is appreciated.
