Wrong - if does. The B/G part of this BCM4312 is the same as the BCM4311. I think the card you asked about (also called the BCM4312) has an LP PHY, which is not supported. >> (HP product number FU346EA). > > I just now noticed that the wifi seems to be a miniPCI card.

If you plug the wrong one in, the BIOS refuses to boot. > You can test this by starting only the X server and nothing else, > simply run the command X (one capital X) instead of startx or an init > script for kdm or anything else.
