[clue-tech] broadcom wireless help anyone?

[Collins Richey]

I didn't post all the gory details. Here's a summary.

1. Tried first on sidux then with ubuntu. Except for a slight
difference in kernels, the b43 stuff is plain old stock debian
material. If you want the gory details, go here

2. The kernel module loaded just fine (iwconfig, iwlist, and all the
brethren detect the card), but it is not possible to get a dhcp lease.

3. Also tried with ndiswrapper (after blacklisting the b43 stuff), but
with ndiswrapper couldn't even get a wlan0 device.

4. I know the card was working a few months ago on win xp, because my
daughter used it every day at school. I can't prove it, because I blew
away xp on the box. I also know the Linksys is working because my
daughter uses it from her windows laptop.
