Possible to explain what the 11N is ?
I am a bit confused, don't really know how these pieces play together.
Broadcom's
stuff, is that a separate module like a PCMCIA card or something ? Or are we
talking
about a single silicon-chip ? Why reverse engineer ?
Meaning: - I understand that Linux need a driver, but are Broadcom, HP, and
others,
reluctant in supplying needed information ? ( have been in contact with HP,
nVidia, but
not Broadcom yet )
My spesific situation is that I'll return the damn thing to Compac/HP and will
go
to some other supplier. I am in search for hardware that will run Linux, but
they
will not give me any clear answer. They don't seem willing to suggest any
product that
will meet this criteria either. So ?
Someone mentioned a "Ndiswrapper" - is that the same thing ?
Above, I did ask if the Broadcom thing was a seperate module. If so, can't the
whole
module be replaced with something else ? Something that does run under Linux ?
Other options for wireless ?
//ARNE
Any good tip as to what is the best notebook/laptop to shop for, in order to
run Linux ?
