What kind of issues? - Be specific please!
Also be specific in the threads title - it sounded to me like an introduction and only the fact that it was placed in "Linux - Wireless Networking" made me read it.
What would be the linux distribution you are running - again, specific please!
We can't see or know what you are not telling us.

Medixbox, please use a descriptive thread title which describe your question. I have edited the thread title. You are more likely to solicit help with a title that is a short description of your problem.

I too have recently been tracking this elusive beasty.
"dell wireless 1370 wlan-pci card" linux driver
AKA = "broadcom", "bcm43xx", "b43"

Scout the following areas::

http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ = (no longer maintained, must read)

http://linuxwireless.org/ = (trophy lies within)

Good Hunting,
