Ehmmm... My laptop has a "Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN" wireless card (bcm4311 chipset) wich [i think that] works fine. My problem is that in Windows XP it operates in low signal too but in Linux it does not. I tried it on Ubuntu 8.04 and BackTrack 3 but it fails to connect.
I tried to change the sensitivity using the "iwconfig sens" command but I get an error that the card doesn't support that property.
So from a point that I can connect from Windows, I cant connect from Linux. I guess I cant connect unless the signal is more than 75%.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dren

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
Does it detect the card properly?

Yes! I can work with it if the signal is 75%+.

I've read that some wireless cards have poor Linux driver support, you may have found one that fits that category.

I had trouble with this card installing it in Ubuntu. I had to take the firmware out of my windows drivers and put them into /lib/[kernelfolder] to make the card work. But I didn't have to do that on BackTrack 3.
Anyway, I have another USB adapter(Atheros chipset) which works fine.
Thanks for help,
