im having problems with broadcom drivers for bcm43xx wireless cards

Did you try installing the drivers from your manufacturer's website or cdrom? You can use a tool called ndisgen which is similar to ndiswrapper on linux.

I don't think it's worth the trouble to use PSD on your wireless laptop yet.

Thanks for the advise, I ended up with ubuntu 6.10 and a lot of head banging and got the wireless cards working on bcm4311, now i have to figure out how to increase the speed ,its stuck on 11mbs
Thanks

NO MORE MSW:newbie:

If its an 11B card, that's probably all you're going to get...11mb/s. You also have to factor in that if the WAP is set to mixed mode and even one client is connecting via 11B, any 54G card will only have a connection as fast as the slowest client...any 11B cards will make the WAP throttle down to 11B.
