broadcom (bcm4319) wireless card on amd64 : SOLVED

[raf ponsaerts]

Hi,

apparently I haven't posted the message 'problem solved' to the list.

I did not try the driver which is linked to your page (@savot.org).
The .inf file is an older version and the file does not contain
specifications for my hardware. I'm not saying it might not work (with a
little tweaking).

Indeed, a lot of hardware on the HP zv6000 seems to match. I'm using a
HP dv5075EA (I just wanted a 64-bit notebook).

Anyway, I thank you for your commitment and I'm happy the driver
provided by Scot works correctly !

Greetzzz

Raf
