[ltp] Internal Broadcom

[Simon Royal]

Hi

I am trying to get a permanent wireless solution for my R31. I have a
variety of devices that work under Ubuntu but some have issues.

USB Zydas stick - it works fine, but is taking up my only free USB
port (as I broke the other).
Edimax PCMCIA card - hangs the machine when on battery.
Buffalo PCMCIA card - works great, but is my sons.
Intel Mini PCI card - hangs the machine after a few mins.

So far - apart from the USB stick - the Buffalo card which is Broadcom
4306 based card has been the most reliable. Whilst scouting around on
eBay I found a Broadcom based Mini PCI card which uses the same
chipset.

Are the problems I have with my other internal card - the Intel 2200BG
- related to my particular card, those Intel cards or Mini PCI cards
in general?

Would a different card suffer from the same problems? I know you cant
really answer it, but does anyone have any experience or problems with
other internal wireless cards. It is only a few pounds so I wont lose
too much if it doesnt work when it gets here.
