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