Dell TrueMobile 1350 (Broadcom BCM4306) Driver Ubuntu

==== Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) ====

The linux kernel still does not support this Controller.
But you can install NDISWRAPPER and user Windows drivers to support this controller.

Installing Ndiswrapper. (Wrapper to use Windows Wireless Drivers)
#> sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper

#> wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software3/CO...4-1/SP28537.exe
(Download Original Drivers from Compaq/HP WebSite)

#> sudo mkdir drivers
#> sudo mv SP28537.exe drivers/
#> cd drivers
Create Drivers Folder to Extract SP28737.exe file.

#> sudo apt-get install cabextract
Installing CABExtract to extract inf files from .exe.

#> sudo cabextract ../SP28537.exe
Extracting .inf files from SP28537.exe

#> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
Load ndiswrapper module without reboot

#> sudo ndiswrapper -i drivers/bcmwl5.inf
Installing Windows INF driver in ndiswrapper.

#> ndiswrapper -l
See Driver installed.

#> sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
#> sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Done. Now you can normally configure your wireless lan at wlan0 interface.
