Topic: #! r20111125 Live USB (Broadcom)

Running #! r20111125 from a live USB on an Acer Aspire 4710 and Broadcom wireless (BCM4311) works "out of the box", which is great, because I'm in an area where I only have access to a wireless network smile

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this machine requires proprietary drivers to be installed to get wireless to work. So now I can go ahead and install #! and update it and install the packages I need, etc. on this machine, all over wireless. Thanks corenominal and the Debian team and the back-ports team.

Happy holidays big_smile

Just installed r20111125 onto Acer Aspire 4710 and updating/installing packages over wireless now. Copied some config/setup files from netbook installation, so settings are the same on this laptop too big_smile

You actually need to thank the Broadcrap developers, as they're thew ones who wrote the open source brcsmac driver used in the backport kernel.
