Need help finding wireless driver

[stealth]

I let it try to use the defaults it picked but no joy so I tried picking different options and nothing worked. I have nearly all the wireless stuff in the repo installed and nothing works. I only added two apps that weren't installed by default.

Below are the stats fore the wireless card

what kernel are you using? one way of finding out is by opening the terminal and type "uname -r"

I had a quick look. You need, using ndiswrapper, the Windows driver.
Brows to the medium where you got it (the Windows installer CD i.a. or download the Windows driver)
Then, when in the folder with driver content, open a konsole.
Become root (su <enter>, password <enter>)
Type: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl6.inf  <enter>   (Yes, bcmwl6 is what I found is the driver .inf flie)

My guess: That will do it!

Oopsss ... you beat me here!   

I think I read somewhere the driver "should" be in the kernel since 2.6.17.rc2  .. But if it doesn't work ndiswrapper will be our friend.

2.6.32.12-pclos1.bfs wired works but not wireless
2.6.33.7-pclos3.bfs neither wired and wireless worked
didn't try 2.6.32.21-pclos1.bfs

This is also a brand new install of pclos kde 2010 on this laptop

The driver is broken in the 33.7 kernel (search the forum for details).  The 33.5 works, IIRC, or use a 32.* kernel...
