Public bug reported: This problem applies to Compaq Presario R4125US. Both versions of ndiswrapper (1.1 and 1.9) load the Windows driver (and unload the driver) properly but the network fails to connect on even an open network. This bug also existed in Edgy Eft with ndiswrapper 1.1 and 1.8. Under kernel 2.6.17-10 you can compile source code from ndiswrapper project version 1.37 and have a working Broadcom 43xx card with some extra work. With Edgy kernel 2.6.17-11 you have the same issue as you have with Feisty Fawn. However, you can compile ndiswrapper project 1.37 source code with Edgy 2.6.17-11. With a fresh install of Feisty Fawn you can NOT compile ndiswrapper project 1.37 source code without errors and failure to install. Have failed to find any information on the bcm43xx-cutter for Feisty Fawn and noted not one but two connections for wireless in Network Settings. One listed as Wmaster0 and the other listed as Wlan0. Not sure which is the real Wlan for my card. A little input would be helpful so I might be able to configure the card with at least the fw-cutter driver though it will be restricted to 11Mbps instead of the full 54Mbps.
