Hi All,
Using the beta build on a Dell Mini 10v (1011) - works fine, apart
from the Connection Manager, that doesn't detect the WLAN device
(Therefore Wired Only). WLAN Device is a 'Dell Wireless 1397 (802.11
b/g) Mini Card European '.
Is there a workaround to get this working ? (The unit shipped with
Ubuntu 8.04).
unfortunately this device is a broadcom chip which isn't well supported
in linux...
Else - can someone tell me which WiFi Cards are supported and I'll
replace it accordingly.
thx
anything non-broadcom will work, including intel cards ;-)
For background on how to get this going:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
Summary: the b43 kernel module will work but you need the b43-fwcutter
tool to scrape the firmware out of a windows driver. If you're lazy and
don't care about legal issues, you can most certainly find the firmwares
already cut for you on the internet.
cheers,
Kris
