Desktop - Broadcom 4306 w/ bcm43xx or ndiswrapper, depending on my mood (ndiswrapper default). Laptop - Atheros 5212 w/ Madwifi. Both connect to my AP with WPA-PSK TKIP. With broadcast off I find it difficult to connect most of the time. bcm43xx will see it and sometimes connect, but ndiswrapper won't admit to it's existence at all. I also find CCMP/AES unreliable with on both cards. NB. I'm still on Ubuntu 7.04 where ndiswrapper has the performance edge over bcm43xx, but when I move to 7.10 I may switch permanently. Steve P.S. Has anyone tried NM 0.7 on Fedora yet? I'm still downloading here. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
