1 the broadcom wireless driver works very clear on my laptop with the
2 softmac-broadcom43xx driver and only with 2.6.16 and upper.... just go to *
3 bcm43xx*.berlios.de/ download the all-in-one patch for you kernel and
4 compile the kernel with the ieee80211 softmac extensions and the bcm43xx
5 module.... then you can use your wireless board as a normal eth board with
6 wireless extensions....
7 the broadcom 10/100 net drivers should also work flawlessly with linux and
8 with native drivers.... i haven't tried it, but there are around the
9 drivers, you just have to look for them....
10 last thing: try not using ndiswrapper, it's not a real solution....
