[solved] Please help wireless setup BCM4318

Model  802.11g      F5D7001      man: 1799 dev: 7001      PCI      Broadcom      Bcm43xx
Belkin

It will be always same network so it's enough configure ones

What do I need? I need wpa-psk.

I think drivers works anyway:

[root@rytas ~]# iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"d"  Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Invalid   
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality=0/100  Signal level=-256 dBm  Noise level=-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

eth2      no wireless extensions.

Whats next?

Not quite sure about the WPA stuff, but I see you have a Broadcom card.  You need to do some extra work to get them to work.

Check out this wiki article -> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … up#BCM43XX

Good news.
Ok I think I get working.

I blacklisted bcm4318 in rc.conf

I used ndiswrapper with this file
http://biginoz.free.fr/linux/bcmwl5a.inf

reboot

modrpobe ndiswrapper
ifconfig wlan0 up

and I can see AP with
iwlist wlan0 scanning

what next shoud I do?

I used  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager
Perfect, like I wanted. To setup/change network with gui.
