I have had my wireless card up and running just fine, but when I "genkernel" my new kernel both my original kernel and the new kernel will not load the driver for my Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] wireless card.
I have followed this guide:

Can anyone help me get my wireless card back up and running?
Thanks in Advance
Kevin
I was able to fix this by going back to kernel version "linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8".
I was trying to use kernel version "linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r4" and no matter what I tried to do it would not load the module for the wireless card and start it running.
I'm not good enough at linux to understand why and find a resolution to the problem other then just staying with my old kernel version until such a time that it will work with the updated kernel.
Of course if anyone has any suggestions I will still take them and attempt them to see if they work or not.
Thanks to all for help,
Kevin

I've tried the native one, I will now get my hardware up and running. My wireless card has a button on the front of my laptop that lights up when its on and you can click it off with the Windows drivers. So I do prefer the Window, ndiswrapper setup.
