hey everybody. I have the dreaded broadcom card. I got it to show up using the latest kernel from
backports.org
.
However I cant get it to connect to any wireless networks including
an unprotected 1 and a wep access pt for which I have the key. Does
anybody has any experience with this?
iwconfig gives this:debian:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...

I cant seem to find a version 22 of wireless extension @
packages.debian.org. Im running etch stable. Any ideas? Thanks
