broadcom wireless under F7 -- the recipe(?)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  ok, part 1, starting with a new and freshly-updated F7 install on a
gateway MX7120, here's the current situation without doing *anything*

  is there anything else that would be worth examining and recording
before going any further?  i like making a record of stuff like this
so i can compare what changes.
