First before you start installing ndiswrapper you need to blacklist b43 modules by editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
password:
then add:
blacklist b43 (you can put it under blacklist bcm43xx
save and quit gedit.
The second step is to install ndiswrapper
From Applications – Add/Remove
search for ndiswrapper
It will automatically install ndiswrapper with its dependency
Third: copy the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys to your home folder and fire up terminal/konsole
change to the directory where you put the two files:
$ cd bcm43
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
check if the driver is installed by giving command:
$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
Fourth: Edit rc.local
$ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
add the following lines:
rmmod ssb
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ssb
Fifth : Reboot your computer and setup your wireless network
