Im using thesame brand for my Dell laptop and it works great except that I have to if down and if up the wlan every boot up, otherwise it wont connect to the router :( Not much a pain to bear with especially that this is a work around for a proprietary driver....
Im using OpenSuse10.1 and this link was helpful to me: http://nextgen.no-ip.org/~andrew/linux/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapperinfo10-32bit.php hth, On 12/19/06, Rafael Sevilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'd still like to get wifi (802.11b is fine, I > don't need anything faster) working though. 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 _________________________________________________ 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
