What linux distros work with broadcom 43xx cards out of the box?
devin.mcelheran asked:
I have a dell inspiron 1501, and the only thing I’ve tried that works with the wifi card is sabayon, I’ve tried countless fixes, and none seem to work. So I was wondering if there are any linux distros that will work out of the box, and more specifically, if the dell ubuntu iso will work?

I have installed Ubuntu onto several Dell and my current HP laptop. It found the wireless card every time – it took a tad bit of other tweeks (but NOT ndiswrapper!). I don’t recall what additional settings were needed, but I was prompted for each component in the installation process.
But I did have to read the prompts as I was installing.
i had the same problem with my hp. easiest way is too do that is one use the distro Ubuntu.. and plug your laptop in wired.. with a ethernet cable, when you go into the driver menu, you can click update driver, it will find the driver for your w. card automatically.
