 Nope, sorry. I've been lucky and/or careful in picking hardware that's supported
under Linux. A couple of Atheros-based cards (cardbus & desktop) and a Symbol
compact-flash card with a PCMCIA adapter. Haven't messed with Broadcom at all, nor
with WPA (since my Symbol card is 802.11b and can't handle WPA).

 Sincerely,
