bcm43xx problem
Hi,
i have updated Etch installed, Dell inspiron 1501 laptop, which has broadcom wireless chip on it. i followed the every instruction step by step on http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
. since i have an supported chip (4311 rev1) according to the list on bcm43xx homepage, i installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter, run it and get the needed *.fw files under /lib/firmware, but udev couldnt create device file for my wireless ethernet. here is the commands i typed and results.
