There's a huge thread on this here:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hlight=BCM4401

I'm sure if you take your time and read it thoroughly, you'll find your answer.

When installing this driver there is no need to run ./configure. Download the driver from one of the people who is hosting it from the other thread. Un-tar it, change into the directory it creates, make the driver, and install it. It's all laid out in the readme/release notes. The procedure will look like this:

tar zxvf [file name]
cd src
make
/sbin/insmod bcm4400.o
make install

If you're getting an error when you run make, its because you don't have the kernel sources installed. Go back to the installation CDs and install them.

Good luck,
SenorPedo
