First of all, we are not currently claiming support for this card, so
technically I wont accept bugs for it. The driver is there so that we can
evaluate it for the final release.

To start off, you first need to get the firmware for the card. Check
bcm43xx.berlios.de for the source code for fwcutter (which will extract the
firmware from the .dll). Then you need to first set the wireless to 11M
(iwconfig ethX rate 11M) before ifup (you may need to do this again).

Lastly, the suggested method for using this is with the ndiswrapper. It's
probably more stable. Testing is always appreciated.
