I can verify that. It never froze my machine, but the "wl" driver did like to sporadically disconnect. Usually it seems to be fine if I wasn't doing anything on the network connection, but as soon as I started transferring any meaningful amount of data it would mess up, disconnect, and reconnect.
This is without WEP or anything like that as well (some others seemed to think it was an encryption issue). Setting the data rate lower didn't seem to help. The only thing I haven't tried is connecting to an "N" router as I only have a "G", in case it perhaps doesn't like certain routers or protocols. Good thing I still have a USB 802.11G card that works nicely in 'nix :-) On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 4:48 PM, Tex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry Finger wrote: >> Tex wrote: >>> Broadcom's reference driver for PCI ID 4328 , 4321 can be downloaded >>> at http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php .
