I'm going to try really hard to reply to all three of these
conflicting messages. First, I didn't get Beso's last e-mail, but I
think another reason many linux newbs are repelled are abrupt
responses on forums and messages like 'you're wrong'. Not to poke a
stick in anyone's cage, but ouch. However, that's not what we're
talking about. the 4310 isn't even on Broadcom's website, I have no
clue how to get it working. Beso, does WPA work with your 4310? I
didn't buy the card specifically, and if I had a choice I would have
gotten something that was better supported and didn't die on me every
3 minutes. I even tried an airport pc card, but I have an express pc
card slot/whatever, so it didn't work. I would really appreciate if
someone could send me said excruciating steps so I could give it a
try. I hope I didn't offend anyone, but I know that, being only a
lowly highschool student and not a system administrator, I would
really appreciate if people would take a little more time to answer
the stupid questions.
