Hi BT peeps,
So I got BT 5 r3 up on my Inspiron E1705 dual booted with XP. Everything was OK. My onboard wireless chipset worked great. (Will post lspci shortly)
I wanted to set up a dual wireless system with my broadcom on wlan0 and my usb Netgear 150 on wlan1
I went and installed "Maverick's" ath9k_htc-installer because everyone said that's how to get the Netgear working. So I did that, ran through the install process, and it worked great. Now I get the Netgear on my wlan1
However, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get my broadcom back on wlan0. I want to be sure that I can always access wireless, even if I forget my usb stick. I'd really like to get the 2 wireless setup
