Working PCI wireless cards on PCLinuxOS 2007 i586 (kernel: 2.6.18.8.tex5) by nastee (3):

The WLAN Controller works with ndiswrapper installed. I have removed and blacklisted the bcm43xx module, use ndiswrapper instead.
Used bcm43xx-fwcutter to get the firmware files with the original drivers, which i got from the original Amilo Drivers CD-ROM.

Works also with the bcm43xx kernel module, but I removed diswrapper first, then I configure it trough the PCLinuxOS Control Center (Network&Interenet->Setup a new network interface…). Works fine.

Some problems, sometimes i need to reload the bcm43xx driver.
