I was just reporting that it was working properly except the sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter didn't work. Because it was installing the wrong version & I explain how I did it (just installing for src). I also check the archive and knew about the DMA error sorry for not been clear enough.... I'm on: uname -a Linux vostro 2.6.35-rc5+ #2 SMP Thu Jul 15 14:05:34 EDT 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux It's working fine. Do you still have things to do on it if so what and where is your todo list?! I imagnie that b43 no because I'm looking at the http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers and all is set to yes...
