Linux + Wireless NICS

[W4GPL]

I haven't used a Broadcom card in quite some time, my old laptop had one and it worked. If you want to PM me, I'd be happy to SSH into the box and take a look for myself. I really really really hate people using ndiswrapper if they don't have to. :)

Good news... I had to install the modules manually via modprobe. Now I am seeing wireless networks in Network Manager. Now let me see if I can connect.

Bad news... The desktop freezes up after Network Manager connects to the wireless network. Froim what I have gleaned online it's some sort of bug related to NM.

Going to try to shut down NM and connect manually.

what about using wicd for network manager http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ (its prob in the fedora package manager)

At this point I'm willing to look at anything that might work.

It's highly unlikely that a user space is going to cause a lock up.. I wouldn't venture down that road just yet.

Yeah, I suspect it's a "kernel" issue. Besides, wicd rpm's for Fedora are not to be found. And I'm not in the mood to start configing and compiling a tarball right now :)..

We'll give it another go as planned tomorrow or later this week.
