[Solved]WiFi on Dell Mini 9

I'm trying to get the wifi on my Dell Mini 9 to work but I have had no luck.

I have installed this so far:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514

But when I try to do "ifconfig wlan0 up" I get this error: "ASIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"

Help getting the wifi to work would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Solved]WiFi on Dell Mini 9

From other threads here, users report that it does work - so it is probably just a configuration issue.

This doc may be helpful - particularly around modules: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt

Could you post the output of 'lspci -v' ??

Got it working now. Thanks, it's amazing what a good readme.txt will do.

I just followed the installation instructions and it worked.
