Dear Friends at grml, The really good news is that now my dell latitude d830 boots and runs from the live cd, no problems.
Now, like many dell, hp products, the lovely, incomparable, almost Kaerntnerisch' bcm 4300 series chips still really need ndiswrapper, which means the last three lines of a blacklist are ssb, b43, b44. Now, for the terminally stupid amongst us, to wit me, is there an init script which we could call, either on the live cd or once installed, to make it possible for the really large numbers of bcm prisoners to run ndiswrapper without a lot of trouble. The reason I ask is that in using the live disk to work on these kinds of laptops for administrative purposes(in other words, non IT workers screw something up ;) ) only one "blacklist=blahblah" seems to work at boot of the live cd. This means that the very first commands, after happy hacking must be rmmod blah blah, which is find, unless a yazdzik forgets so to do. Thus, we need a grml script to use ndiswrapper which rmmods the offenders, grml-screwbcm or something that, useable at startup. Or not, as the case may be. Thanks, Mika and friends for another superb job. Best wishes, Martin
