Re: [ilugd] drivers for broadcom bcm4312 802.11b/g(rev 01) on centOS
Also, you could try using the drivers from this Feisty HowTo for ndiswrapper. They've sourced them from the Compaq website(step 2b for. bcm4312 revision 01) and used cabextract. Or you could use the ZIP file here - http://uploading.com/files/VXHOYZLY/bcm4312rev01.zip.html Hi, I followed the HowTo, step 2e worked for me, since my chipset pci id was different from the one in 2b. Now that I have wlan0 up, I don't think it will work in raw monitor mode since the driver is installed via ndiswrapper. Which brings me to my next question. Does anybody know of a usb-dongle that will work in monitor mode. I do not have pcmcia card slot and the dell people tell me that no other wifi card will be supported by my notebook's motherboard. So I cant shift to the intel interfaces. The usb-dongle being my only option (i think). I am looking at Airlink101 AWLL3026. From what I read, it really works well, including injection. Please advice me of what usb option I should go for. And if you know any reseller in Delhi, do let me know Thanks.

[ilugd] drivers for broadcom bcm4312 802.11b/g(rev 01) on centOS
Hi, I am trying to configure wireless on my Dell inspiron 15 notebook using centOS. This may seem like a repost. I had asked this question about a month back but then i went home and had no wireless available so wasn't able to try any of the suggestions. As suggested by Raj and Karanbir I downloaded the driver for xp from the dell website and tried to install it using ndiswrapper. I unzipped the .exe and installed netathw.inf. ndiswrapper -l tells me invalid driver! I expected this since the dell website states that the xp driver applies to only the Wireless 1515 (11agn) WLAN half mini-card (Atheros). I have a Dell Wireless 1397 802.11b/g Half Mini Card. The driver for Vista seems to support this card. The problem now is that I am unable to extract the .inf (or anything else) from .exe provided for vista. I tried unzip, cabextract and even wine, but all failed. Any help would be appreciated.

The following page has native Linux drivers that you can compile for the bcm43xx chipsets: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php Also, you could try using the drivers from this Feisty HowTo for ndiswrapper.
