This is really not an option. First and foremost reason is that I like many others use a notebook with built in hardware. So the option to simply replace the hardware is unrealistic at best. Secondly even newer hardware like the Acer Ferrari 5000, Asus Lamborghini and many more now supports memory way above 1GB. The Acer for instance supports upto 4GB RAM. Saying that there simply is no way to get a working driver for that kind of hardware will only cause people to rethink moving to linux and sticky with what works Win XP / Vista. Now I'm no Win fan by any chance and I have been a long supporter, user and hacker of linux since the days when the network drivers were still embeded inside the kernel, back in '94. We've come along way since then and I simply can't believe that there is absolutely no way of working around this problem. BTW. The Acer Ferrari 5000 still uses a Broadcom chipset for it's wireless hadrware. ~Z~ _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
