Re: pbm with Broadcom BCM4318

Hi,

according to the messages you have sent from your 'dmesg', it seems that 
the DriverLoader module is correctly compiled and installed. Since 
DriverLoader does not attempt to load the installed Windows XP driver, 
you have probably installed the wrong Windows XP driver for your 
wireless device.

You can find the right Windows XP driver on the CD that came with the 
wireless device or laptop. It is also possible that the driver is on the 
web site of the vendor of the wireless device or laptop. Finally, it is 
also possible that we have the driver on our Windows XP driver download 
page at:

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/drivers.php

If you require more assistance, while the Windows XP driver is installed 
and the wireless device is attached to the machine (if applicable), 
please send at [email protected] the output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the 
following in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp 
('driverloaderdiag.txt'). It'll help us solve the problem.
