Broadcom 43xx Wireless Card in Linux
Today I finally resolved what has been one of the most frustrated Linux issues I have faced yet -- getting my bloody Dell Truemobile 1300 wireless card (stock in my Dell Inspiron 5100 notebook) to function in Linux. The problem has been that those bastards at Broadcom -- the corporation that manufactures the controller for the card -- have not released Linux drivers for this controller. Prior to today, I have struggled trying to wrap my Windows driver in a piece of Linux software called ndiswrapper. I have, as it turns out, found two ways to finally get the blasted card to work!
