+======= Broadcom bcm43xx =======
 As of 2.6.17, a driver for the Broadcom bcm43xx wireless chipset has been included in the kernel. Older kernels can sometimes be made to work, check out resources available [[http://bcm43xx.berlios.de|here]] While this driver natively supports monitor mode, it requires patching before packet injection can be done. After testing aireplay-ng with the patches, please contribute to the [[http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=281.0|forum thread]] by reporting any successes or failures there.
+**Note: As of 2.6.24, this driver is considered deprecated, and you might be better off using the new [[b43]] driver instead. (B43 supports the fragmentation attack, and it's much more stable than bcm43xx.)**
+===== Is My Card Supported? =====
+Most broadcom cards are supported EXCEPT the following:
+  * PCI ID 14e4:4315
+  * Wireless-N
+To determine the PCI ID of your wireless device under linux, enter:
+  lspci -nn
