(probably) in order of preference you might be able to use the b43 driver (in the wireless-KERNEL extension), the wl driver (in the wl-KERNEL extension) or the ndiswrapper extension with your device.

In order to find out what might work, you could consult the wiki or the linux wireless web site.

Hi again, been trying everything it feels like still it wont work
Well iguess i just have to run wired for a while until i sort it out

as per: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

assuming your device pci id = 14e4:4313, then it looks like it will not work with b43, but it might work with wl

Note that with the wl extension, you don't need broadcom firmware (it is included in the driver) and you need to blacklist the bcma, ssb and b43 modules.

Hi Juanito
If he is referring to a BCM4313, the PCI ID is  14e4:4727

Looks like wl is still the only choice

As Juanito has pointed this out before, I wrote http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:network_setup_-_broadcom_wireless_cards and I think the cutover is around the 4311 or 4312.
