Are you talking about the firmware? It runs on the bcm43xx hardware, and bears no relationship to the architecture of the host CPU. If you are/were an ndiswrapper user (please avoid it), then I suspect you might run into 32- vs 64-bit issues. But that is because you would actually be running the windows driver on the host CPU -- it has nothing to do with the Broadcom hardware itself. Hth! John -- John W. Linville linville@xxxxxxxxxx
