For those who do not know, there's an online petition (even though I
seriously doubt it ever has effect - petitions are generally useless in
militant struggles) on http://www.petitiononline.com/BCM4301/petition.html
I also came across this open-source driver project for Broadcom 4301 on
http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.net/, which itself hasn't released
anything yet, but points to a binary driver wrapper, available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/.
Has anyone played with that already?
