I got wireless working over the weekend, on the old call center box.

The PCI 802.11g card uses a Broadcom BCM4306 chipset. The wireless tools in the OS, Ubuntu, don't work very well with it, but good old ndiswrapper, iwconfig and dhcpclient did the trick.

Anyone else pull off any useful upgrades yet on these old boxen? Mine also has a CD-ROM drive now, but that's it. Future plans: sound card, so that I can have Internet radio over wireless out in the shed :)
