Anatiferous blog | Move every zig.

Howdy! This is my (William Reading's) webpage. At the moment, I only have this blog script and my gallery up, but I hope to get more stuff on this page at some point, or so I thought when I created this site years ago. Updates and shiny new copy to eventually go here. If you'd like to contact me to point out that I've done something to break XHTML/CSS standards or heaven forbid--look at my Vita--drop me a line at my e-mail address bill +spam @ [ELEPHANT] aggienerds.org. Simply remove "+spam", the spaces and the pachyderm along with its brackets and that address will reach me. I'm also available on Jabber/GChat/AIM/MSN with the same address above.

I picked up a Gateway 3018gz laptop to supplement the powerbook today and promptly wiped it to install windows xp and debian. Only after I tried to get all of the vendor supplied drivers to work did I discover that the driver listed for the wireless card is incorrect. It has a broadcom wifi adapter; not an Intel one. The correct driver can be found here: http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=19881&uid=8413850 with the following description: “9528158.exe - Broadcom Wireless Network Card Driver for Gateway® M520 / 7000 Series Notebook Computers Revision: 3.30.15″.

Update: Also note that these are the drivers that need to be used with NDISWrapper to get wireless working on this laptop in Linux.
