+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I'm thinking of dropping the nonfree prebuilt broadcom-wl drivers
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> (and thereby their &quot;support&quot; from live images)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> This means also dropping them from ldetect-lst, and if we keep/add
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> some there, it must be for specific reason and on sub-vendor/device
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> level to not force the wl stuff on everyone...
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> [...]
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Comments ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Agreed. Besides, the free driver works much better (i.e. better range)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> with my laptop.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> As it looks with i586 Beta1 none of the drivers works at the moment-

+</I>&gt;<i> Kernel driver un use: wl
+</I>&gt;<i>

+
+can you provide either &quot;lspcidrake -v&quot; or &quot;lspci -vnn&quot; for that device
