M$ MN-720 And FC4


Hi, first of all, thx for this forum/page, It has been a great help to me when starting to use Linux

Bought new laptop couple days ago, Compaq Amilo M700, 800Mhz P3, 256mb, 100Gb. M$ MN-720 G -card.

At the moment I'm using FC4 and I have tried to get that M$'w WLAN -card work with Linuxant.
I have succesfully installed the card, linuxant shows the card status etc, both lights are on(?) all the time.

When I'm trying to create contact to my bridge, I get the error: "Unkown command: "Mb/s"
And after that it tries to get the ip but fails.

I have shutted down the WEP, MAC etc checks, so any1 with working connection can connect to my box(usually these r on

From the HCL I founded a guide how the get the wlan -card work with suse(duh ;< ? ) and I have totally no clue, can some1 give me some info or links or, something, I really dont wanna ruin my laptop with Windows when I have got this far :|

EDIT; Found this: "Microsoft networking cards use the broadcom chipset. So THEY WILL work in linux and work very well with strong signal."

So I should start looking something which got something to do with Proadcom -chipset drivers ?

Check if you can find any more documentation on those Broadcom -based cards. It's the chipset that matters, not the model.
