edit: i assume it should be just as good to kill udhcpc as using a boot option?

- which module do I need and can so compile for me?
- which WPA supplicant options to use?
and the alike. Everybody is asking the same questions. May be useful to have all these answers in one place.

That might be a good idea - BTW the b43 module in the wireless-2.6.26.tcem extension works well with my dell 1450 mini-pci card (aka broadcom 4309) after following the firmware cutter instructions at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

Sorry this is getting OT but I have to comment on the 'firmware issue'. The whole idea behind is, that manufactorers want be able to download firmware 'on the fly' to your computer (without ack, edit: if you are using Win or OSX) to update their buggy code; to be able to release it before it is major. That's a shame, IMHO.  Nobody asked for that 'feature'.

Juanito:
I didn't think that was the issue - rather that broadcom has decided not to release driver details to the linux community and so the firmware cutter is required in order to reverse engineer things so that they work with linux.

..and this is also the reason why I did not make an extension of the b43 firmware - it would not exactly be GPL...
