Everyone: I have a three-year-old Dell Inspiron 1545. It came with the Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. The current output of lspci -k |grep -iA5 wire gives "Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card" as a subsystem. The relevant kernel module is "ssb."
$ lspci -k |grep -iA5 Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try 'grep --help' for more information.
Currently this card will not connect. Nor can I force it to connect by directly editing the network interface. I've tried several times, but I can't get to a MAC address for it. What driver(s) or other kernel module(s) should I install, and where can I get them? Broadcom has a 32-bit and a 64-bit tarball for what they say is a driver for this card. Should I install that on my system? Please advise. It seems a shame to operate any laptop without wireless connectivity. Temlakos
