The post date and the driver got my immediate attention. and on that I made my post. After that, I did see the commands and in fact captured them to look at when I switch back into upupbb. I haven't done so yet. I should have mentioned that in my post. My apologies.
I am surprised to read that
1. Development is still occurring over at ubuntu - now up to 1.60.6, used with "trusty" and being used in cooperation with "Cuttlefish", the next Ubuntu. Sorry, I don't have the link readily at hand.The driver has not been needed since version 1.57 of ndiswrapper.
2. bcmhigh5.inf/? is the Windows 32 bit driver, so it is still being used. It would seem that the mechanics of setting ndiswrapper up properly is the problem. The commands intend to fix it.
3. So it would seem, those cl commands are not replacing the need for ndiswrapper; the commands do not obviate the need for a regular driver. Regardless of the version of ndiswrapper, the windows driver will have to be accessed somehow.
Thanks again. As soon as I can, I'll try those commands and report bacl.
