Thanks Ian Will try to follow that howto.. John..

The bcm43xx consists of two parts - one is the in kernel driver and the other is the binary firmware you extract from an object file (usually a windows driver).

dmesg will have the in-kernel driver giving messages even if no binary firmware is there.

I have put instructions on how to set it up at: http://wlug.org.nz/BroadcomWirelessChipset -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand
