it is on the pci express bus and not the standard bus. The developers

If the OPs machine also has the chipset on the express bus it could
be the same problem.
I read on the developers list for the bcm driver that if they had a
pci express card to work with they would be able to get it working a
lot faster.
Personally, I see little philosophical difference in hacking out firmware from
a windows driver to plug into an open source driver AS OPPOSED TO using
ndiswrapper.
The latter almost always works, and the former is usually a crap shoot.
Well, to an extent, I agree. But if the native linux driver could be
made a solid as the ralink driver for example that would be great. I
am writing this on an ancient IBM Thinkpad A21M with a ralink rt2500
based belkin pcmcia card attached and it works flawlessy.
