</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> can you provide either &quot;lspcidrake -v&quot; or &quot;lspci -vnn&quot; for that device
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> # lspcidrake -v |grep Broadcom
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> wl   : Broadcom Corporation | BCN4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [NETWORK_OTHER]
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> (vendor:14e4 device:4315 subv:14e4 subd:04b5) (rev 1)
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> That's it
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Thanks. that shows the subvendor/device ids.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The 4312 ones are problematic iirc...
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Now for some tests...
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In which mode do you want me to do that ?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>   - live mode
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> This wont work as you need to reboot to make sure the hw is in &quot;good
</I>&gt;<i> state&quot; , wich will make the &quot;uninstall part&quot; useless.
</I>
Ok, that was clear.

&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>   - installed without net access (through additional cable)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>   - installed with net access (through additional cable) ?
</I>&gt;<i> you dont need cable access for the first part (1-4) but need
</I>&gt;<i> cable access (or beta1 install dvd) for second part (5-8)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> after configuration step you obviously need to disconnect the
</I>&gt;<i> cable  to verify that it works with wireless.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> And you dont need to do a new install to test this,
</I>&gt;<i> a current installed/updated cauldron system should be enough.
</I>
Ah, I need to do a new because I only have one system with this device
:<i>( So I just start from fresh,
</I> - first with non-free disabled and reboot,
 - then non-free enabled with reboot
