alright, currently I have an ubuntu server box I am using as a firewall / web server / file server, and I decided to use a wireless card I had lying around to turn it into a wireless router as well. The included drivers work just fine, I have everything configured correctly, but I hit a snag with the included drivers.Whenever I enter the following command to pull the card into master mode,sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode masterI get an operation not supported error. I have done a bit of research and have discovered that using this card is possible, so long as I can locate the softmac linux drivers for the broadcam 43xx chipset. It's almost as if all traces of it have been deleted off the net. If somebody can find this for me I will give you a cookie. (Will gladly ship internationally)
