Re: NdisWrapper for Wireless HowTo

I have a Dell Latitude D505 with a broadcom. I installed Ubuntu and
virtually everything was recognized out of the box except for the
wireless card. I followed the how-to they provide (took about 5
minutes) and viola working wireless.

If you are running a desktop or mobile computer I strongly suggest
Ubuntu. Plus, Veronica Mars mentioned Ubuntu on national television as
being better than OS X. Which means it must be cool. ;)
