Broadcom and Intel are involved with a dispute with China concerning WiFi and proprietorship. Both Broadcom and Intel are playing significant roles in the openning up of the Chinese industry, especially the wireless industry. (As of the Feb? 2004)
What about the lack of Linux drivers for devices with the Broadcom chipset? Can anyone speak credibly about this?-
yes check there site, good luck finding a driver; and search online, you will find many woes about it.
- This company's drivers, like those of many competitors, are not designed to run on consumer Linux boxes. While this may be aggravating, this level of detail hardly belongs in a high-level article about the corporate entity itself. I would encourage you to check out the linux_sta or bcm43xx drivers, as most people have had success with one or the other. Or, vote with your feet, and select a chipset that has better software support under your OS of choice. --BsdIsDying 02:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Since most of the Google search results for "broadcom wireless" are related to the company's refusal to release open source drivers or accommodate GNU/Linux users, would anyone have any issues with creating a section regarding this ongoing issue? Perhaps "Linux Driver Controversy", or a "Criticism" section? --Wolf m corcoran (talk) 14:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
"The Linksys (802.11G) wireless routers allow a greater degree of customization and configurability, through the loading of third-party open-source firmware."
Now I know what we're trying to say here, but what on earth do linksys's 802.11G routers have to do with the price of tea in china? This sentence needs to somehow relate itself to Broadcom.--24.117.45.211 02:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
