(SOLVED) HP dv8000 WiFi

Post by johnnydolphin »

SOLVED
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
PCI ID = 14e4:4318 (rev 02)

Finding and installing the HP Pavillion dv8000 laptop WiFi drivers and firmware will need that special knowledge I just don't have.
Let's hit it. :)
Thanks!
