Yes, I initially tried the b43 driver, which worked, but consistently |
| 8 |
dropped about 5-15% of packets, making it mostly unusable. I also tried |
| 9 |
bcrmsmac and bcrmfmac, and neither of them supported my card (432b). |

Unfortunately, I can't get a different card, either, because I my |
| 11 |
notebook has a "whitelist" of supported devices in the BIOS, and it |
| 12 |
won't even boot with a mini-pci-e card installed that isn't in that |
| 13 |
list. Thanks, HP :( |
