Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.23 and bcm4311 802.11b/g?
Hello Marzan, I have the same wifi card and tryed the same methods to get it working and nothing. I'am using ndiswrapper right now, just until I can find a way to make it work. Any news gonna mail our list.

No real magic involved, but I did write my own initialization script. I could never get the wireless started the gentoo way. If you guys like, I can zip up and send you what's in my /lib/firmware directory. Just ask via email. -- From the Desk of: Jerome D. McBride -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.23 and bcm4311 802.11b/g?
I'm trying to get my Broadcom 4311 b/g card to work with the native kernel driver (bcm43xx) and b43-fwcutter but it's does not work. I placed the extracted firmware code in /lib/firmware and dmesg states that it failed to load the module. Has anyone gotten this card to work and how? Any link or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Richard

From http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php When starting a new thread don't just reply to a message sent by someone else and clear the subject line. Not all e-mail and news clients behave like yours and will thread messages correctly based on the Message-ID:, In-Reply-To: and References: headers embedded in the messages. Only programs which don't comply with Internet standards sort messages by subject and call that threading. When you simply change the subject of a message, all of the threading information remains intact and your new thread simply continues at the end of the old one. This is called thread hijacking. By doing this, you're shooting yourself in the foot twice over. First of all, people following a thread don't want to see unrelated messages cropping up in the middle of it. The most complacent will just delete your message without reading it, others will killfile you, some having complained to you asking you to learn how to post. Secondly, those who aren't interested in the hijacked thread and who have set their programs to ignore it won't even see your message. If you want to start a new thread then use your mailer's/newsreader's New Message function. This will start a fresh thread of your own without any traces of previous threads. And: Do not post in HTML. There are several reasons why posting in HTML is a bad idea.
