I decided to join the laptop club and bought a Compaq Presario V6420US. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147458
Call me ancient but I´ve never had wireless ethernet before so it´s new to me. I can´t seem to get it working. Initially I tried using ndiswrapper but compaq.com gives me file not found for the XP drivers. Then I tried (as I did not know it existed before) using the Broadcom drivers in the linux kernel. This fails too with no access points found. dmesg reveals bcm43xx: FATAL ERROR: BCM43xx_IRQ_XMIT_ERROR. The laptop has a wired ethernet port which works without any harassment at all. But it´s a laptop... I don´t want to be plugged into anything. Searching google reveals that some ubuntu user got it working so I know it´s possible. I just don´t know what man page I need to read or what documentation I´m missing. If anyone has a clue I´d be appreciative. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
