Hi,
i'm very sorry for the object, i can assure that wasn't intenctional, i
forgot!
so, using the command lspci the answer is: 06:00.0 Network controller:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
i don't know lther cmd to know
wich version of broadcom i have.
reading tha page http://www.dnmouse.
org/broadcom.html i can understand that is supported but afther is written
"only tha 2.4 Ghz part" and i don't understand if with my cpu (AMD Sempron™ SI-
42 2,1 GHz, cache L2 = 512 KB) will works!
thank's everybody for the
answers...
