My HP laptop has broadcom wireless chip which works only with proprietary wl.ko kernel module. I searched ARCH linux recipe for needed patches and I used also the source package from that page.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-ck/
After patching the source I compiled the wl.ko module and I am using it now so it works.

I didnt find existing wl,ko module so I uploaded it if someone else also needs it.

I've deleted the ndiswrapper .pets

I've now got an .inf file for the wifi in my laptop so I can test. It works with an old slacko kernel and ndiswrapper.

ndiswrapper compiles ok but crashes when run under kernel 4.9

I can't find any relevant patches.

Sorry! There will be no ndiswrapper for UPupBB with kernel 4.9 unless somebody else can produce a working version.

peebee · Kernel must be changed to 3.16.45

Attached is an ndiswrapper pet - it requires a kernel change to 3.16.45:

A couple of questions peebee.
Let's assume that I am changing the kernel in upupcc,
My only prior experience with changing a kernel was the new vmlinuz and zdrv of the new kernel would simply replace the old. That is not the case here.

Exactly what should I do with

produced when huge-3.16.45-puppy4g.tar.bz2 is uncompressed?

Should I just rename them to vmlinuz and zdrv_upupcc_18.10.sfs
reboot, run Grub4Dos then run the ndiswrapper pet?
TIA for your guidance.

script download http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=90829

the script might already be on board so worth a check

@peebee
A short advisory:
The latest ndiswrapper offering works but there are some strange outputs I want to investigate and identify whether they are ndiswrapper related or upupcc..
