Wow, thanks Larry, that sorted it in 2 minutes! I have spent most of the day trying to get the wireless working. There is so much stuff out there it is hard to find the right solution.
I really admire you guys who work on this stuff. I just ran iwconfig and it tells me I have a link level of 93/100 and a bit rate of 54 mb/s. I am currently running Mandriva as my primary OS but will move to suse 11 if I can sort out the video problem. I ended up using ndiswrapper on Mandriva because the bcm driver I used only gave a low link level with sporadic connection and a speed of 24 mb/s. Probably using the wrong driver?
Anyway, thanks again for making it so easy.
Cheers, Mike.
