Re: Wifi & 64 bits, what solutions ?



Hmmm, from the Marvell website, it appears that they only have Windows64 
drivers for their "Yukon GigE 88E8001" product (no wireless drivers).  Looks 
like you are out of luck with this one...

On my debian-amd64 laptop (Presario R3000), I use both the built-in broadcom 
wifi with ndiswrapper (using netbc564 driver), and a Netgear WG511 cardbus 
card with the prism54 drivers.

Hopefully there will be more open wifi drivers in the future...
