Hallo!
Ich habe auf meinem Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop nun Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex installiert, nur leider wird meine Netzwerkkarte (Dell Wireless 1505 - Broadcom 43xx-Chip) nicht erkannt:
thomas@papaDell:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. pan0 no wireless extensions.
Aus diesem Grund habe ich herumgegoogelt und scheinbar besteht dieses Problem schon sehr lange (schade, dass es noch nicht generell so gelöst wurde, dass man sich den ganzen Konfigurieraufwand erspart 
). Ich bin dann nach der folgenden Anleitung vorgegangen:
From User 'kayvortex' June 13th, 2007, 11:41 PM Right, I got my Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN mini card (which uses the Broadcom bcm4328 chipset) to work on my Inspiron 9400 (also called the E1705). This is what I did:
Download Driver
Go to the Dell Support page and download the "Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN mini Card" driver, which is called "R151517.EXE". I haven't tried the US or Japanese drivers because, basically, I can't be arsed to wait for the 52MB download to finish...I will do later though.
Edit: The drivers can be downloaded at Dell's ftp site: there is a US driver (ftp://ftp.dell.com/network/R151519.EXE), a Japanese driver (ftp://ftp.dell.com/network/R151518.EXE), and an Everywhere-else driver (ftp://ftp.dell.com/network/R151517.EXE). Note that I have only tried the "Everywhere-else" driver yet, but I'm not sure that they differ at all in what we want to do with them.
Note that if you don't have a Dell computer/notebook, you should try a driver provided by your supplier first since that is more likely to work.
Unzip the file, but beware that it will spill out quite a few files:
unzip /download_directory/R151517.EXE
Install Ndiswrapper
We'll be using the ndiswrapper program, so we need to install that. Note that it is provided on the Ubuntu install CD (and the Alternate CD) so we're not stuck in the ridiculous position of requiring an internet connect in order to provide an internet connection (at least for a wireless connection). Also, there is no pre-installed driver provided for this chipset, so there is no need to worry about conflicts until one appears.
The particular files we need from the R151517.exe driver are the ones in the directory "DRIVER". They are all required (I gather), but we only need to tell ndiswrapper about the one with the .inf extension: for this driver, it is called "bcmwl5.inf" (but may be called a different name for different drivers).
Install Ndiswrapper and the .inf file:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils sudo ndiswrapper -i /download_directory/DRIVER/bcmwl5.inf sudo ndiswrapper -l sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
Then, set ndiswrapper to load on startup:
sudo ndiswrapper -m gksudo gedit /etc/modules
and add the following module to the list
ndiswrapper
That's it!
Finally, don't forget to check if the wireless card is switched on! And, also note that although the Dell driver is for both i386 and x86-64 systems, it's functionality on Linux x86-64 systems is a bit hit-and-miss (which may also be true for drivers from other manufacturers).
In ndiswrapper wird nun zwar angezeigt, dass der Driver 'bcmwl5' installiert sei (Hardware present: Yes), nur leider tut sich noch immer nichts. Wenn ich beispielsweise in ndiswrapper auf "Configure Network" gehe, tut sich rein gar nichts und hiconfig liefert noch immer dieselbe Ausgabe.
In der obigen Anleitung steht, dass diese nur für x86-64-Systeme funktionieren würde. Weiß jemand, wie ich bei einem i386-System vorgehen muss. Ich bin schon langsam am verzweifeln ...
EDIT: Bin mir jetzt nicht einmal sicher, welche Prozessorarchitektur ich jetzt letzten Endes habe 
. Auf dem Dell steht "Intel Core Duo" drauf. Ist das jetzt eine x86- oder eine i386-Architektur?
