Truemobile 1450 Support in Kernel (i.e. NOT ndiswrapper)?

xtaski

I came across a note that support for the wireless a/b/g Dell Truemobile 1450 (miniPCI) was going to show up in 2.6.12... I searched again and found this page:

http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/12-rc1/drivers/pci/pci.ids

Which shows:

4321 BCM4306 802.11a Wireless LAN Controller
+ 4322 BCM4306 UART
4324 BCM4309 802.11a/b/g
1028 0001 Truemobile 1400
+ 1028 0003 Truemobile 1450 MiniPCI
+ 4325 BCM43xG 802.11b/g
+ 1414 0003 Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-720
+ 1414 0004 Wireless PCI Adapter MN-730

Does this mean there is kernel support or not? I'm not sure what this is showing...

It only means that the device can be identified by manufacturer and product ID code.

Does ayone know where/when support may be added into the kernel? Is there someplace I can look?

Thats what I was afraid of

Not that there's any problem with it, but I just feel a little dirty using a windows driver wrapped in NDIS wrapper.

Anyway... glad it worked out. I will check that out too.

Thanks

Yeah it wasn't ideal... but... I wanted my internal wireless more than I wanted to put a different card in...
