I used openfwwf-5.0.tar.gz and initvals.tar.gz for my bcm4318 card in Acer Aspire 5024 (qos=3D0). Scanning works fine, connecting to WPA Personal network also. I can't check speed performance as I don't have antenna connected to my card (notebook lid just gone... I belive "Acer" explains that situation to you?). As for stability it's great. I downloaded 100MB, left notebook for 24h and then downloaded another 50MB. So to sum up: I don't feel any difference between opensource and broardcom's firmware. --=20 Rafa=C5=82 Mi=C5=82ecki -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireles= s" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
