Broadcom Wireless with > 1 G memory?

[Prarit Bhargava]

Scot,

I heard back from the people at linuxant.com and they said that they 
were aware of the situation that the broadcom driver would not load if 
you have > 1 G in your machine.  On r3000z, there is one person who 
points out that the system does work correctly at 1 G ... so I'd suggest 
dropping down to that mark and trying again.

My problem is that the r3000z is one of them new-fangled laptops that 
hides one of the  memory slots  "inside" -- which means this evening I 
will be pulling out a saw and blowtorch to open it up to pull the 512 M 
and replace it with 1 G.
