Hi All,

how to make 1390 dell wireless card work on your laptop...
(without any NDISWrapper)
I own dell e1505 laptop,I guess it should work with any laptop.
I did it in debian etch.

1 install bcm43xx-fwcutter and run
install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh

2. install 2.6.21 kernel from
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ etch-backports main

3. make sure your wifi button is ON.

that's all.
