i've linked on linuxonlaptop my installation [1] but it's in italian...
i've tried to use the kernel module bcm43xx on my vanilla 2.6.24.4 kernel but
it won't work...
if "lspci" tells you about this hardware
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN
Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
you can use wifi with ndiswrapper and this [2] windows driver...
you've to execute these commands, briefly:
# m-a prepare
# m-a a-i ndiswrapper
# depmod -a
# modprobe ndiswrapper
# unzip -a /path/to/downloaded/R151517.EXE
# cd /path/to/downloaded/ && cd to the created directory form extraction and in
subdirectory DRIVER
# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
done!
