Hi

I have a Compaq nx6110, with build in BCM4306 card.

I fint ut, and is wlan 0, but I cant get it up.
Everyting I try, seems to come back with: network is down.

I love TCL and want to use it. But I need wlan.

I'm guessing you're using the b43 module, which probably means you require the broadcom firmware, but feel free to provide more details.

Have a look here for an explanation of how to get the firmware required:
