I had messages in dmesg directing me to get the version 3 firmware (for my BCM4306 card). I'm not sure what firmware/driver the 4311 would use, but it would probably tell you in the logs.. > Shouldn't I have seen the firmware being loaded in dmesg, or syslog? Not necessarily? I don't think it bothers loading the firmware until you actually try to bring up the device. Of course, NetworkManager usually does that pretty quickly, so you might see a message like this one: b43legacy-phy0 debug: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27) But then again, maybe not - I'm not sure how b43 and b43legacy differ in their log messages. > Made sure NetworkManager was working. I can see the icon. No connection. You don't see any wireless networks listed if you click on the icon? Have you restarted NetworkManager? > Now what?

Nope, you've got pretty much everything right (except, possibly, the firmware - thanks for making this harder than it needs to be, Broadcom.) -w
