Hi

I had some problems getting my 4306 card running with b43legacy.

This is mainly for google and to comment that I've updated the FAQ
 http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/faq
and the drivers page
 http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware

Maybe someone more knowledgeable could double check my text...

I was able to get b43legacy running fine - great instructions.
However wpa_supplicant wouldn't work and iwconfig showed
  Link Quality:0  Signal level:0
The module was loaded and there was no indication that anything was wrong.
It turns out that the Dell BIOS was set to 'application control' which windows
presumably can toggle. Setting it to 'on' fixed that problem.

Secondly there are lots of references to a 'broadcom' driver for wpa_supplicant.
It's not clear that the b43 class drivers need to use 'wext' (thanks to mb__ on
#bcm-users).

Cheers

David
