Hi
I have installed Gentoo 2006.1 on my HP DV2020US laptop (AMD X2 1.6 Ghz processor, 1GB RAM) which has a Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card. I installed ndiswrapper and everything is fine till now. I cannot use the 32 bit driver because that does not work with my 64 bit machine. Can someone please guide me which 64 bit driver to use here ? I have been through linuxant drivers and tried the Airforce One" Broadcom devices with PCI ID 14E4:4318" but that does not seem to work.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Bandan

Hello,

Apparently there is a 64 bits "XP" bcmwl5 driver at this address:

Hope it helps.
