Dell Inspiron 6400 wifi won't work
#3
Hello!

Some 6400s have Broadcom wireless cards. They use proprietary firmware that is not supported in the kernel.

Depending on the card, there several different drivers to choose from. Inxi will tell us which card you have, so we can point you to the correct driver.

It is good you have another adapter that IS supported in the kernel. You will need it to download and install the proper Broadcom drivers.

When you get the right one installed, you will see two cards to choose from. You can then remove the USB wireless stick, and just use the built-in card...
