Yeah, you'll want to use NetworkManager to manage the device. First you
will need firmware:
1) Install bcm43xx-fwcutter
2) Get a Broadcom-distributed driver to cut the firmware out of
# See the list in /usr/share/doc/bcm43xx-fwcutter-006/README
# For the newer driver you'll need 4.x firmware. I recommend:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
I'll try this, but I suspect it won't work, because I have a pretty
old bcm4306 PCI card in my desktop machine. Last time I checked, my
card isn't supported by the 4.x firmware. :-(
Works fine with the bcm4306 in my powerbook.
