Yes it works. From what I read, and just poking around in windows device
manager it is not as  much integrated onto the mother board as it is a built
in pcmcia card. When you do right click the network adaptor and  look at
properties it shows it using pcmcia  bus 2 If you can show me where it says
thiss doesn't work with dell network cards I'd appreciate it.

So Linux actually supports the Broadcom cards?
