    Drivers for Linux WIFI

    Any one know where I can find drivers for a broadcom 802.11g net card....for a gateway 7210gx laptop. This is for running Redhat Fedora or something like that (I didn't quite understand just what he was running).

    I did a few searches and came up cold, but then figured someone here would possibly know and save me a lot of time (and error).
    Thanks

    There are a couple of Broadcom chipsets. AFAIK, you'll have to track down which one.

    See if you can use NdisWrapper

    They have a list of compatible cards @

    Shrekkie has a tutorial on how to use ndiswrapper @
