Here's my output from lspci: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [14e4:4311] (rev 01) I just didn't have very good luck with the kernel drivers. So far I've had no problems with ndiswrapper, so I'll prolly stick with this unless I get the urge to really play around with the kernel drivers again (who knows, winter is coming!). I also have an atheros-based card in my router which works wonderfully, too bad broadcom isn't as linux friendly! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHLkLa9BUXz6eNIHURCrU3AJ0eamo4h1+WEXESZDJ4ZD5BYrn8WACgiv9t kZ5vCyewr3dwEyr33aCtS0U=3D =3D7NWL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=20 gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
