I've got a Broadcom Wifi Card and I have installed b43-fwcutter-013-1.mga1 rpm and wifi tools.

In Mandriva, I get this card works using ndiswrapper.


Thanks
Bye.

I solve this error :D

Steps:

1.- Download this firmware:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2

2.- Extract it.
3.- Go to mcc.
4.- Configure wireless card
5.- Choose 'wlan0: wlan0' option instead ndiswrapper
6.- Choose 'wl_apsta_mimo.o' file from tar.bz2 you extracted before
7.- That's all!!

I can surf the web again :D

Thanks.
Bye.
