@Buran: Wow, you're aggressive! If I ever got a call from you, I'd tell you to calm down or I'd hang up the phone.

@noneck: My Broadcom 4311 (Rev 2) didn't, but I got it working in relatively little time (3 hours). Turned out to be an issue with the B43 (BCM43xx replacement) module not being compatible with my specific chipset (there's a patch but it breaks another chipset, which is why it's not enabled by default). Had to get it…

@ustna: Indeed, it's not a phone. That's exactly the problem with it; it would have had to be a phone.

The new generation of cellphone offer similar capabilities or will soon enough. Sure, the Mylo might be better at it, but who wants to carry this AND a cellphone in his pocket?

Bah; to learn Linux, nothing beats assembling a working system with bells and whistle from Slackware.
