Up until kernel 2.6.18 my laptop's wifi device (BCM4306) was unsupported by Linux (even now, I'm still afraid to use the kernel driver which is marked as dangerously experimental). However, installing ndiswrapper allowed the kernel to use the Windows drivers for the wifi card, and thus far I haven't had any serious problems with it. You might have some luck using it (ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net), but you will need the kernel sources to build it. -- 下手な考え休むに似たり。 http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com
