My test for bcm4213

[Kevyn-Alexandre Paré]

Next time will post with attachment .txt or directly in the email.

I was just reporting that it was working properly except the  sudo
apt-get install b43-fwcutter didn't work. Because it was installing
the wrong version & I explain how I did it (just installing for src).

I also check the archive and knew about the DMA error sorry for not
been clear enough....

I'm on:
uname -a
Linux vostro 2.6.35-rc5+ #2 SMP Thu Jul 15 14:05:34 EDT 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It's working fine.

Do you still have things to do on it if so what and where is your todo
list?! I imagnie that b43 no because I'm looking at the
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers     and all is set to yes...

Regards
