    Question [SOLVED] Do I have a broadcom I don't know about?

    Hello,
    AFAIK my computer does not have onboard wireless. The wlan0 interface is the one I installed myself. eth0 is my wired. However, running lshw -C network results:
    ~$ lshw -C network

    It does appear that you have a Broadcom card, but I can also see that you are using the RaLink drivers which appears to be working also...

    What does lspci -nn show? I would think that it will show up there also if you do have one.

    I can't think of any reason a 4306 chip would show up if there wasn't one in the system.

    I am an idiot. I installed a broadcom 4306 a while ago and forgot about it.
