Install 10.2 when it comes out (the kernel supports this chipset) and locate the package called bcm43xx-fwcutter-005-13 to install the firmware. Use it with the windows drivers that came with the laptop. I use it with the Linksys PCMCIA card and it works great. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
