How do I proceed with this? Pardon my ignorance, but I am not familiar with kernel's patches, hence the reason I am asking for some guidance or pointers. Any help towards this will be greatly appreciated. Been actively trying to solve the Broadcom 4401 NIC on my Dell 8500, and the above link seems to be the closest I can get to. I cant afford to upgrade to -CURRENT as my notebook is almost the mirror to all the production servers I have . Responses are much appreciated! Thanks -- Feisal
