I have tried both versions on the 2.6.16 release candidates. Neither the softmac version nor the devicescape one allowed me to get an IP. I tried several different firmwares to cut up and use, built my own deb for CVS wpa_supplicant, and managed to pretty much mess up my Ubuntu setup after a while.
Now I run Ubuntu for daily use and dual boot with a small Gentoo partition for experimenting with these things. Still no worky for me though. I'll scream from the rooftops when it works so you won't miss it. :) Håkan On 3/30/06, Josh Coffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Thu, 30 Mar 2006, Josh Coffman wrote: > > > > > so has anyone who uses fc5 gotten the bcm43xx > > driver > > > to work for their wireless?
