I just was reading Linux Unwired, and they warned that there is no support for Broadcom due to that problem, documentation or cooperation. That's horrible. I wonder if the wireless lan kit for the shuttles (http://global.shuttle.com/Product/Accessories/acc_Spec.asp?A_id=40) might fit nicely into the mini... Though, I hope they don't use broadcom either. If it'll help maybe we should write letters to CE0 "Scott A. McGregor" and CTO "Dr. Henry Samueli": Broadcom Corporation 16215 Alton Parkway Irvine, California USA 92618 Perhaps nothing will heppn, but then you never know... - joaquin
