ok I have acer ferrari laptop with broadcom wireless card. I use 64-bit windows driver, ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. Now, this whole thing worked fine so far, and all of a sudden, ndiswrapper claims that the driver doesn't support WPA, only WEP. It worked on last reboot??

I tried reinstalling driver, re-emerging ndiswrapper, checked config files... nada.

I never got this to work. I am using the correct driver; and when i unplug a usb mouse, it will work; until I plug in a mouse; then the computer will freeze.

When the mouse isn't in, ndiswrapper reveals a wlan0, but I cannot scan or set the essid. It doesnt show me my MAC address either. Has anyone used the wireless with a usb mouse?
