I tried it briefly but never got it working, had alpha 4 and it was so buggy that wifi was the least of my worries. Go here and have a read.b43 has a new codebase and cryto which probably translates into a lot of swearing for us . ;) Hope some of this helps you as this site helped me switch from the dreaded winwoes.<BR/>http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43Neilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15147470512813512836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-4332034769252198752008-03-09T22:43:00.000-05:002008-03-09T22:43:00.000-05:002008-03-09T22:43:00.000-05:00What's the problem with wifi?What's the problem with wifi?Christopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07169943388772537022noreply@blogger.com
