Driver

Driver Used: bcm43xx
this is a new driver, will only work on kernels 2.6.15 or newer
For older kernels see NdisWrapper to configure
LiveCD
Included: No
Hard Drive Install
Installed by default: No
Devices with the Broadcom chipset will not work out of the box. You will need to install the device's windows driver with NdisWrapper to get these devices to work.

Notes on Driver

This is a very common chipset in many devices, especially linksys devices. There is a driver being programmed for this but it's a long process as no support from manufacture has been given.
It is new and will only work with a 2.6.15 or newer kernel. Look for improvements and a stable release included in the future.
