 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. As of 2.6.17, a driver for the Broadcom bcm43xx wireless chipset has been included in the kernel.
