Description Palm Pre 2011-12-18 15:18:35 CET 
Description of problem: I'm using Mandriva's wiki (http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Installing_wireless_network_cards_using_the_b43_driver) for b43 installation. 


I have BCM4311 card. It worked with Mageia1 and Mandriva 2010.x guide. Now there are error message when using easer 2011 or 2010.x

what does "easer" mean?

please read here why this doesn't work:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4273

and please use the broadcom-wl package in non-free

Although this bug was filed earlier, I'll close it as a duplicate of 4273 because of the explanation there
