Robert, try running restricted-manager-kde. It should list your broadcom card and let you click a checkbox to enable it. When you enable it, it should prompt you to download the firmware. Accept the default source of the firmware and it should download it, cut it, and place the files where they belong. Hope that helps. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
