</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> [...]
</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i> Comments ?
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Agreed. Besides, the free driver works much better (i.e. better range)
</I>>>><i> with my laptop.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> As it looks with i586 Beta1 none of the drivers works at the moment-
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> lspci -v
</I>>><i> 05:00:0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
</I>>><i> LP-PHY (rev 01)
</I>>><i> Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device 04b5
</I>>><i> Kernel driver un use: wl
</I>>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> can you provide either "lspcidrake -v" or "lspci -vnn" for that device
</I>
# lspcidrake -v |grep Broadcom
wl : Broadcom Corporation | BCN4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [NETWORK_OTHER]
(vendor:14e4 device:4315 subv:14e4 subd:04b5) (rev 1)
That's it
