I'll mail Marc, Ubuntu's launchpad reported to ask if he still has access to this notebook.I've just received photo of the card (inside notebook) from Marc. It's labeled as DW1530, bingo! :) I'll ask Dell about prices. Larry: I'm also waiting for you getting response, maybe your prices will be lower?I got no answer from that first vendor. I just sent another message to a different vendor. I found the device on a parts list for some government organization in Ohio that listed the Dell Part Number (430-3960) and a price of 12.15 USD. Too bad I couldn't purchase there.
It seems Dell can be the only choice for us. I've asked Marc for checking details of that card. I asked him to try bcma&b43 or get MMIO dump with wl. That will make us sure what's PHY hidden inside of that card. I've already bought once a card (BCM43225) in hope it'll contain PHY different that card I already have (BCM43224). That cards seem to have exactly the same PHY. -- Rafał
