I remember I used to struggle with this while using the 1501 that had a BCM4311/5 chipset. And it used to be that bcm43xx did not support injection, but now b43 does (at least for me with the mini 10). <br /><br />At any rate, Intel is probably a Amauryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462203167564387402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960927518508059674.post-5592034333184796442009-09-26T20:41:06.351-05:002009-09-26T20:41:06.351-05:00anjilslaire,
