I'm thinking of buying a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop. I have a number of Dells, and on the whole I'm happy, but I've had "issues" before. Can anybody who has one of these machines (1150 only, please) tell me good or bad things about it? Have you been able to get the internal wireless card to work?
My point is... you may have to use the windows drivers with a wrapper to
get it to work.
Yes, that was my suspicion as well, and one of the reasons for my question.
On the other hand... I've switched to an Atheros based miniPCI card which works quite well with 'device ath'. I can give you a link if your interested.
Thanks, but no. I have wireless cards here. I was wondering about the onboard card.
I was referring to the internal onboard (miniPCI) card. You could purchase the laptop without one (if that's an option) and then drop in your own. I chose an Atheros based one... but there are Prism based ones floating around as well.
So you might dig around and try to find out positively whose card those miniPCI devices are.
That's what I'm trying to do, and also (if possible) get more details about how to get them running.
I can give you very specific instruction on how I got the 1300 (Broadcom) working with 5.2.1... but I don't think thats what your after.
