I just got a new HP Pavilion dv4t with a Broadcom BCM4310 that will not show up in iwconfig when I load the b43 or b43legacy driver. I have not yet tried ndiswrapper and would like to avoid ndiswrapper if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

In devel this is currently supported by the broadcom_sta module, If you use the stable release you might want to upgrade or I'll see if the driver can be backported.

If you can try to backport the driver, I'd appreciate it. If it can't happen, then I'd be willing to upgrade to devel.

The driver is now available in milestone1 1.1. You need to install the package kernel-mamba-nongpl-wl. Make sure that the module (wl.ko) gets loaded in place of the b43 and b43legacy modules.

I unloaded the b43 and ssb modules via 'modprobe -r', then tried to modprobe the wl modules, and ended up with a fatal error telling me to check my dmesg, and the dmesg outputs the following error:

[ 1634.711136] wl: Unknown symbol ieee80211_get_crypto_ops

[ 1638.477869] wl: Unknown symbol ieee80211_get_crypto_ops

[ 1696.047075] wl: Unknown symbol ieee80211_get_crypto_ops

My lsmod would be attached if it would allow me to upload.
