I have a Broadcom chipsed on my Asus L4500R, not a Linksys, but I have gotten a Linksys PCI card working before. With both my L4500R's Broadcom and that Linksys PCI card, I used ndiswrapper[1], which, although not an elegant "purist" approach, works. Check the site out. They have a wiki of supported cards, too. [1] http://ndiswrapper.sf.net Best of luck. By the way, I haven't had any luck with ACPI and my ASUS L4500R. My last attempt using Linux 2.6.12 and the latest acpi4asus that came with that was fruitless. So far, I cannot query battery status, use cpufreq to adjust my CPU's performance profile on the fly, or work the mail and WLAN LED's upfront. Worse, when I have ACPI enabled, the Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 keys which adjust my LCD's brightness don't work, so I usually run without ACPI (I just build my kernel without ACPI support, although it can probably be disabled using a boot parameter to the kernel, too). Just ranting, in case someone with better luck finds me through the archives. ;) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free software GNU/Linux Specialist : GnuPG 0x93B746BE : we refer to freedom, not price. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
