broadcom BCM4310 wifi on acer travelmate 5520
hello to all.
lspci ==> output
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01)
v strange ==> no id ?
sudo lshw -C network ==> output
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: BCM4310 USB Controller
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:05:00.0
version: 01
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
ndiswrapper of no help ==> installs driver but no message re hardware present
is it the hardware probing/detection that 'sees' it as a usb controller ?
does anyone one have any idea how can this be solved ? the preinstalled xp sees it ok and working.
I just had a zydas 1211 wifi dongle around ==> plugged it in and was immediately seen by hardy and connected right away. lsusb output with this setup below
