wireless USB device

Post by bmike1 »

I just got a wireless USB dongle thingy.

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N
300 [Broadcom BCM43231]

does mint have a driver for a Broadcom BCM43231?

Workaround is ndiswrapper and Win Xp drivers and it still doesn't work very well
