I've given up on broadcom, I have an OLD HP lappy with a BCM4318 radio in <br>
it, and not even the official windows drivers would make a connection <br>
for more than 5 seconds. Got a netgear usb dongle by somebody else, and <br>
it Just Works. On every linux I've installed on it, mint 15 right now <br>
IIRC.<br>
