shenkillnz: your crappy broadcom wireless card is now supported by the open source driver22:37
llnzis it? cool22:38
shenkinot in any distro yet... but the code is written, and tested22:38
llnzi found the bc wl driver is in debian nonfree, which is working fine for now22:38
llnzcool22:38
shenkiyou'll probably still get better performance with the wl driver22:39
llnzok22:42
shenki2.6.32 should contain the driver. and perf will improve as time goes on.22:42
llnzi suspect i wont change until the drive disappears from debian, or it doesn't load due to the kernel driver22:43
llnzcool22:43
shenkiby the time debian has 2.6.32, you will probably have a new laptop ;)22:43
llnzmaybe22:43
llnzcould well have a netbook or android phone by then22:44
shenkior an n90022:44
