New Linux Broadcom Wi-Fi drivers arrive]

<quotes>
Now Dell, with some help from Broadcom and Canonical, the company behind
Ubuntu, has just released a Linux friendly Broadcom Wi-Fi driver for
both 32 and 64-bit Linuxes. According to John Hull, Dell's Manager of
Linux OS Engineering, "updated Linux wireless drivers that support cards
based on the Broadcom 4311, 4312, 4321, and 4322 chipsets" are now
available.

Hull went on to say that "This driver is included in the Ubuntu 8.10
release," which is due out at the end of October, "and should be added
to Ubuntu 8.04." If you can't wait, you can download the driver, the
Broadcom Linux STA driver today from a Broadcom site. The link in the
Dell blog is broken, but this link, as of October 7th, was working. Enjoy!
