    Re: wireless adapter issue

    You have a Broadcom 4306 chipset -- you will need to use NDISWrapper to get wireless working.

    That's far too complicated to go into here.

    Go the the networking subforum and search on NDISWrapper. You'll find posts dealing with exactly that chipset and how to install NDISWrapper and get it working.
