Which driver do I need for Broadcom4311?

Hello,
I'm using a dell Inspirion E1505, with a Broadcom4311 chipset. I read in the wiki and apparently I have a few options:
1. ndiswrapper - will use as a last resort only, I prefer to find a more linux-y solution
2. BCM4312 driver which apparently works for my 4311
2. broadcom -wl
3. b43
My question is, which driver is the best for my hardware? Apparently all work (according to the "supported cards" in the wiki) but I'm interested to know which is the most optimal driver. I heared BCM4312 doesn't support hidden ESSID, and I'd like to have that capability but is it that impotent?

Use b43.

  • Which driver do I need for my MacBook Pro (2013) for Canoscan 4400F?

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded software from the Canon website to try and install my old scanner Canon Canoscan 4400F to my new macbook and while the toolbox opens without any problem, when I try to use it the error "failed to open a driver" comes up.
    Can anyone tell me if I need to download an additional specific driver and if so, which one?
    This is the software version I installed: CanoScan Toolbox Ver. 5.0.1.4 (OS X 10.2/10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9)
    And also tried the driver separately: 4400F Scanner Driver Ver. 12.13.3a (OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9)
    I'd really appreciate some advice!
    Thanks

    Thanks Uguna for the help but unfortunately this doesn't work.  I have since been in touch with the Canon Support centre who went through and confirmed that the driver you mention is the correct one, and I am able to open the toolbox but the error message still comes up. They have elevated this to their next tier support.  My MBP is 2013 and it seems there is a compatibility issue with this. For now, there is no solution but I will let you know when they respond.

  • How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

    How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

    Hi
    Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
    Finally use this disk for booting.

  • How can i edit psd files in PS touch or which software/app i need for androiud tablet (newest tablet)

    how can i edit psd files in PS touch or which software/app i need for androiud tablet (newest tablet) @samsung

    You can import PSD files into Photoshop Touch but the PSD file will be flattened. (The original, of course, will remain untouched; PS Touch just copies it upon import.) I imagine this was done as a failsafe measure since PS Touch has no support for masks or adjustment layers (not to mention that PS Touch only has support for about 12 layers).

    For the ISR G1, it was supported from 12.4(24)T, so I would assume that your ISR G2 has this feature if you are running 15.x.
    EDIT: The Feature-navigator says that it's supported starting with 15.1(2)T.

  • What kind of hard drive do I need for my HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC?

    I have a HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC that has the BSOD. Even when I run it in SafeMode I have absolutly NO desktop. I've tried EVERYTHING. I have lost hope. So im just going to buy a new hard drive. Does anybody have ANY idea what type of hard drive I need and aprox. how much it might cost? Please let me know(: Thank you.

    It is a standard laptop 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive like shown in this picture:
    Look at Page 9 of this Manual:
    Drive Manual
    This will show how to replace it. Do you have the recovery disks that you could have made when the laptop was new? If not you are going to have to get a Windows disk or some HP recovery disks.
    Here is a drive that would work for you.
    160 gig 7200 rpm drive for $45
    This drive will be faster than what you had and is a bit larger. A very good deal for the price. You perhaps already have a second hard drive in the system. See the manual on page 9 for the location of both hard drive bays. You could move the secondary drive (if there is one) over into the primary position without spending a nickel. In fact, that is a great idea. If you do that and still get the BSOD, then it might well be something else going on other than the hard drive. The hard drive is a likely issue but it could also be the memory and other things, too. However, I think the second drive is only found in the dx9000 models so do not be shocked if you do not have a secondary hard drive bay in your machine. I have never seen a dx6000 series but am pretty sure it is a lot like the dv6000 series of which I have seen more than my share. They have a lot of issues and I am concerned you will be spending money on a new hard drive that will not fix anything.
    Feel free to post back with issues or questions.

  • How big a hard drive do I need for iMac and Time Machine?

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere already. I am going to buy an iMac, probably the new 24" with a 320G internal HDD. I already have one Lacie external 320G HDD so I was wondering whether I can use this for Time Machine backups, or do I need to buy a bigger one? If so, how big? Is there a rule of thumb for working out how much hard drive space you need to have for Time Machine, for instance if I were to buy the 500G iMac what would I need?
    thanks.

    I agree with the "double the size" rule of thumb. You should also consider how much of the 320GB you are actually using and are likely to use in the next year or two. After all, it's the amount of storage you use that matters, not the size of the disk. Disks will very likely be cheaper soon. You should also keep in mind that TM deletes old archive data when it runs out of disk space. So as long as you have more disk space than you have data to back up, TM will work, though you will lose older versions of your data.
    So if your 320GB drive only has 100GB used and you're not the kind of person who eats up disk like there's no tomorrow, the 320GB drive should be fine for now. If you expect that 320GB disk to be full soon then a 750GB TM disk is more like what you need.
    The same logic applies to a 500GB iMac. If you only expect to use 250GB in the next year or two then a 500GB TM disk should be OK. A 1TB drive will be a lot cheaper next year or the year after.

  • Which cable do i need for dell monitor  Dell Ultrasharp U2713H - macbook 13' retina?

    Which cable do i need to attach monitor to macbook pro for optimum display resolution?
    thank you

    The resolution is supported, whether at 60 Hz, I do not know.
    Here are the Monitor Specs:
    http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/monitors/en/dell_ultrasharp_u2713h _specs.pdf
    In order to obtain the resolution that you require, it seems that you will need a minidisplayport - minidosplayport cable such as this:

  • Which licenses do I need for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX R2 2012

    Dear Community,
    some time ago i heard about the Enterprise Portal, which requires a SharePoint 2013 and a Dynamics AX R2 2012 Server.
    My company has a fully licensed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server and enough CALs. We also have a Dynamics AX 2009 Server running. 
    Now to my question: What licenses are needed to get a Enterprise Portal with Dynamics AX 2012?
    Thanks for your responses.
    Sincerely ShareBear9280

    Hi ShareBear,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which licenses needed for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
    There are 4 types of user CALs in Dynamics AX 2012 R2 - Enterprise, Functional, Task, and Self Serve. The number of CALs needed is related to who these users are and what they do.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/114710.aspx
    For this issue, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for Microsoft Dynamics AX: 
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33.aspx .More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Microsoft Dynamics AX.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

  • Which driver should I use for Oracle RAC .....

    We are using Weblogic 8.1 sp2 and Oracle RAC (9.x). Which driver , I should
    use : i.e.
    type 2 Orcle thin driver
    or
    type 2 Oracle OCI driver
    or
    type 4 oracle thin driver
    or
    Jdrivers
    or other which is best for this configuration .

    Joe, I have always suggested that people use the OCI driver

    How come you choose the thin driver? Oracle will generally
    fix the OCI driver before the thin and the OCI driver will
    give far superior performance when dealing with LOBs.We have actually had faster response getting thin driver fixes
    than OCI-based fixes. Thats interesting. I'll take note of it.
    The 10g driver works with RAC, is much faster than previous
    drivers, and is easier to install etc. OCI users are often
    hopeful about TAF, which is broken and less-than-useless for
    active complicated JDBC applications. OCI problems can bring
    down the whole JVM and are harder to debug.
    These are from reading the results and recommendations of
    Oracle Corporation, Tom Kyte and other Oracle professionals.
    Have you research to say different? I'd like to see it,
    because up until now, I've always suggested OCI first unless
    the client doesn't have an oracle client installation
    available.Tom does an excellent job from the DBMS perspective, but I
    don't see him often in the jdbc arena.His Q&A site is littered with jdbc examples. He also will call
    on people in specific expertise to help him answer questions.
    Here an example of that where he show the OCI driver to be much
    more performant.

  • Which version do i need for kindle fire

    which version of flash player do I need for kindle fire?

    Adobe stopped ALL development of Flash for Android last year.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html there are older versions of Flash Player (for Android) at that link, but there are no guarantees any of them will work.
    Check Android forums for alternatives.
    See also: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1061194
    I've read a lot about "Dolphin" for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
    I'm not an Android user (no tablet or phone) so I can't make any endorsements that would hold any credibility, but most of the Flash solutions I've read point to Dolphin as the best alternative.
    Again, check Android forums: http://androidforums.com/ to see what their "gurus" recommend.
