Broadcom 4311

[mwpruett]

Does anybody know how to get this Broadcom 4311 (Dell Wireless 1390) WLAN card working? I reall y want to keep using Linux (and I also wiped out my only copy of XP) but I can't seem to find anything about this at all. I'm a real noob to Linux. I really would like to get my wlan and gnash working so I don't have to drop cash on a new copy of Windows. Please help!

I've had success with the bcm43xx driver. You'll also need a copy of the firmware; there is a application called "bcm firmware cutter" which will extract the firmware from windows drivers. I suggest a search of these forums as this topic crops up fairly regularly.
