Thread: Drivers for bcm4312 802.11b/g
i set ubuntu partition on vista laptop, , can't wireless work. right i'm on wired network.
have bcm4312 wireless card, , i've downloaded both windows driver hp website , linux driver wireless card support website, don't know how use either.
understand use windows driver, need run through ndiswrapper somehow, don't understand how run ndiswrapper. when click on it, opens folders of more , more individual packets of code. linux driver set in similar way; don't know it. windows driver .exe , shows me error message when try extract files:
archive: /home/matthew/downloads/sp45222.exe
[/home/matthew/downloads/sp45222.exe]
end-of-central-directory signature not found. either file not
zipfile, or constitutes 1 disk of multi-part archive. in the
latter case central directory , zipfile comment found on
last disk(s) of archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in 1 of /home/matthew/downloads/sp45222.exe or
/home/matthew/downloads/sp45222.exe.zip, , cannot find /home/matthew/downloads/sp45222.exe.zip, period.
realize there's sticky troubleshooting ndiswrapper, don't understand language used there; extremely new this. sorry.
thank help!
in order extract windows driver exe, must use cabextract.
the linux driver source code have compile, should have readme somewhere in source archive.code:cabextract sp45222.exe
