Hello All,

I'm having similar problems with my Dell Inspiron 1501, which is now running Linux Mint 11 K., alongside of win XP ,

I'm too much of a novice to try implementing some of the patches mentioned above without guidance.

Instead i'm hoping for a rapid ' upstream' general patch or fix of the Broadcom Dell WiFi bug, implementable by upgrade.

When can one expect such an upgrade to be downloadable?

It's important enough to consider switching to another Linux branch i had recommended on a Linux distro chooser: OpenSUSE.

My other question is therefore: is this BroadcomDell bug affecting the OpenSUSE distro's as well? If so, i would stick to my current xp/Mint setup.
I'd be very,very happy to finally ditch Whinedoze for good though. ;)

Thanks,
Tom
