I think the card is working fine. Perhaps I think I have nl80211 on my system, but would it conflict with b43?<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">[root@Joshiba ajachimiak]# dmesg | grep -i wlan</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

</div>Is that the card you are currently trying to use, or is it a different one? A<br>
couple of things you will want to check: ensure that the driver for the card you<br>
are using is properly loaded, whether as a module or in the kernel. If the<br>
driver is present, make sure that it is properly recognizing the card, and<br>
assigning it to a device, such as Wlan0. One way to check for this is to run<br>
dmesg | grep -i wlan and see what if anything comes back as a result. The other<br>
thing to check would be actual Netlink support in your kernel, but the former is<br>
currently far more likely.<br>
