an 802.11a/b/c wireless interface. Broadcom doesn't sell it direct, so
they don't provide any drivers (same deal for all their wireless

that suggests I'm stuck using ndiswrapper with the Windows driver, but
it's an older reference to the BCM4301 chipset. Couldn't find any

archive for my hardware.</font></div>
