Hi

Recently i bought a notebook VOSTRO 1000 (AMD Turion 64 *2)
And installed FC7.
uname -a is :->
[root@RAHEL ~]# uname -a
Linux RAHEL 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

And i have been trying to make wireless work since i had this notebook.
I did googling and studied so many forums,views,links and also got something.And i have made detected my wireless card.But problem in configuring dhcp client.So again did googling found through views posted there that some problem in drivers that i used to make detect the wireless.So now i again formatted the
notebook and installed FC7 on this and looking for some good solution.
And i used bcm43xx-fwcutter
and drivers are wl_apsta.o from bcm43xx.
And also i got that we should not go with ndiswrapper as there might be speed problem.
So i tried bcm43xx-fwcutter.

Can anyone help me in this so that i could proceed and feel happy...

Thanks in advance.

I can't recall which kernel version it is that starts b43 driver support, but you might check out my dv9000z posts here there are some links that may help, the dv9000 used the same wireless card. I used ndiswrapper with 2.6.18 series kernel and had no problems, with speed or use.
