Hi all, I have been trying to get CentOS 5.5 running on my Laptop for a while now. I am currently running Fedora 13 for the only reason that my Dell Wireless HSPA 5530 built-in 3G Mobile Device is working. I have tried loading the bcm43xx modules after reading several posts on Google but not able to get this working at all. I have run CentOS on my servers for a while now and love it. Just this last bit that holds me back from going fullt to CentOS. My laptop is a Dell E6400 and I have tried with both x86 and x86_64 without luck. Has anyone else got this working or have any clues to the steps I can take to get closer to a working solution? -- Rgds, Janne Nyman E: jnyman at jbtec.org

Does ethtool show link detected at all? mark
