Unfortunately for linux users Broadcom refuses to release its hardware specs to linux driver developers. However there is linux software that allows you to use it by implementing a wrapper for the windows drivers. You can choose: Linuxant - http://www.linuxant.com or Ndiswrapper - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ Linuxant costs money but comes with support and other things that you pay for. Ndiswrapper is free but requires a bit of fiddling (In my experience) I went with Ndiswrapper and haven't had any problems. -- Adam Cooper <adam.cooper@xxxxxxxxxx>
