In the first try I downloaded from the Dell site the latest broadcom driver. This firmware caused my machine to freeze. I read the kernel source Documentation/network/bcm43xx.txt and I saw a list of drivers and versions. The first time I didn't understand the version numbers associated with the http link. But know I catch that the number is the version asociated withe the particular drver. The dell newest driver doesn't match this number so I looked up for a driver matching the version. (Fortunately I had several dell drives stored in my lap) Well I had 3 drivers version from DELL, I remove the newest driver I installed with bcm43xx-fwcutter and I reinstalled a older version matching the one pinpoint out in the bcm43xx.txt file. Alberto P. Now I can scan with iwconfig. However i cannot do network connection yet with the wireless interface, I'll try this later. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
