Wireless not working at all.

^Perhaps the SL wiki article Using Broadcom wireless and ndiswrapper w/Sabayon miniEd might help you, Ocean. I know it's different hardware, but it shows how to use NDISwrapper.

Thank you for trying to help, although it didn't work. But I have included everything I just tried in the terminal, so someone can determine if somethings wrong, or I'm doing something wrong. Any help appreciated again, thanks.

If you have the BCM4312 wireless controller then here's the procedure used by another SL user to configure NDISwrapper: Wireless Broadcom 4312 issue resolved --- Sabayon 4.2.

Hey man, i just saved what you said onto a notepad and booted up Sabayon, i noticed i now had wi-fi. I believe the last link you sent me fixed it. Thanks a ton! I recommend anyone having my problems with the same wireless card to view over my terminal and do the things i did in it. It seemed to work. That's again fitzcarraldo.
