Seems to work fine under 7.04 after you install bcm43xx-fwcutter. When I installed bcm43xx-fwcutter it prompted me if I want to automatically download and install the firmware and it did it flawlessly (I am running the AMD64 version). |

wl / ndiswrapper |
No |
Something is wrong with the Hardy 8.04 Live CD that prevents the wl driver from working properly, but this is fixed in updates. I have had better luck with ndiswrapper using step 2e in Feisty_No-Fluff. A message on bcm43xx-dev about potential future support with the b43 driver. This card was in an HP Pavilion dv2815nr. |
