Another thing that may be worthy on note on this issue is the results of some quick research I did. I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop with a wifi card, specifically a Broadcom TM1300.
There is no native support for this card under Linux from what I can tell. However, I found something very interesting. It appears there is a company called Linuxant that has a downloadable driver wrapper that basically allows you to use the windows driver from the manufacturer. They have a list of which manufacturers' chipsets they have support for. http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/ I haven't had a chance to work with it yet. Has anyone else done anything with this driver wrapper?
