    Broadcom 4322AG support?

    I'm thinking of installing Fedora 14 on my hp laptop, and need to know if this will support the Broadcom 4322AG wireless card it came with, will only probably use Fedora if the card is already recognized, or an easy gui install. This is the game changer between using fedora or linux mint for me, so thanks in advance

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The driver for Broadcom 43xx series controllers is built into current kernels, but you will need to install the firmware which is proprietary. It is available for Linux systems, but it is not normally installed because of this issue. My laptop (running Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.10 has a broadcom 43xx chip set and I had to install the firmware. As soon as I did, it works just fine. In fact, I'm using it right now.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
