Hi, I am trying to configure wireless on a Dell Inspiron 15 notebook. I am using CentOS 5.2. The output of lspci tells me that my wireless card is 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01). The only way to get this up seems using ndiswrapper. Is there any other way?
the bcm43xx driver is included in the centos-5 kernels. However, its flaky at best. The b43 driver might make it into 5.4, with the entire wifi stuff getting a rebase then. In the mean time, ndiswrapper is the only way to have it work properly.
even when the bcm43xx does work, its rarely ever at speeds > 11M.
Please suggest any addon wireless cards (usb/other) which will run in rfmon and will be supported(not necessarily out of the box) by CentOS 5.2 and be easily available in the market, the cheaper the better :-)
the intel wifi interfaces tend to work quite well normally. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522...@icq _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
