Greetings; Getting curious (yeah I know, it finally killed that famous cat for the 9th time) I was wandering around in the lib/modules tree after the 2096 kernel had been installed, and low, and behold even, there sits a driver module for the bcm43xx broadcom chips. Its in: /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2096_FC5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko Ok, fireing off the network settings utility in kde, I was going to try and setup a new network port as eth1, but I find that the only driver listed with a broadcom name in it is for the 'tigon', whatever that might be. Now, I'd like to get rid of the ndiswrapper stuff on general principles, so where, and how, can I make the above driver available for linux to use? What contains the list of drivers thats available for this utility, and which I might be able to add this driver too? I might add that I have the system-config-network screen open and displaying the list of available drivers, but a perusal of the output of lsof -c system-config-ne isn't showing me any likely candidates. Thanks for any clues. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
