[dundee] Broadcom wireless chipsets in laptops

[azmodie]

lo guys, i used the bcm43xx_fwcutter method on my fiesty setup .

unfourtunatly the driver  fails in kernal 2.6.20-26-genric.

i found a source online that  not just makes it easier to install but also
enables packet injection
which for the guys on the Ehthical hacking course may find usefull as packet
injection is needed for using aircrack.
