Yes, using bcm43xx-fwcutter, which is also included in 10.2. I'm surprised that Ubuntu distributes it, since it's not really legal unless they have explicit permission. That's why SUSE, and the driver maintainers are not distributing it. -- James Oakley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
