</div></div>Doh! Sorry Mohamed - ignore my previous response - it was from my<br>
desktop machine (the one on which I'm writing these emails) and NOT the<br>
laptop!<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><div>No problem ^^</div><div>I was first surprised that there was no Broadcom device in your first lspci output, but now it's OK.</div><div>The native kernel driver b43 is the one used by your card. But as I said before, it needs firmwares. Did you installed these firmwares manually (using b43-fwcutter for example)?</div>
<div>There is a set of free/open source firmwares for Broadcom (package b43-openfwwf) but there aren't supported by 4311 (rev 2) devices according to their page.</div><div>What returns this command?</div><div> $ rpm -qf /lib/firmware/b43/*</div>
