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."
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.

In my experience most Dell branded wireless cards have a broadcom
chipset.
