Greetings.

Just an FYI, I've got my Broadcom Wireless working on my HP Pavillion
Laptop, w/o ndiswrapper.  Definitely working 802.11b mode, not sure yet
about 802.11g (its a hybrid card).  This email is coming to you over a
802.11b network.

Apparently, due to license issue, the drivers can not be shipped with
the distros.  Linux, and possibly some of the other distros, provide an
install script;
install_bcm43xx_firmware
which will download and install the appropriate drivers.  Note that this
~ script DOES require that you be connected to the internet before
executing.

Let me know if you want anymore details.

Regards,
Steve
