Acer 5002WLMi, Debian, and a nasty wireless chip

[sjb <sjb@orcon.net.nz>]

Hi, All -

Love my laptop, hate my wireless (Broadcom 4318), and am
wondering if anyone has/had:

a) any good response with the Broadcom43xx driver in development w/ the
above system &/or the above wireless card.

b) any knowledge/experience of an acpi/ acer_acpi patch for the 2.6.15
kernel? I've got the source for the driver itself, but it doesn't like
to install.

c) any new ideas for getting the 4318 to work under ndiswrapper, *other*
than the usual ones involving ndiswrapper -i, for conffile...do, and the
like?

thanks for any hints, clues tips or tricks.

Steph
