Dell Inspiron 2200
Pentium-M 600/1600 MHz
CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz stepping 08
Broadcom BCM4318 wireless driver
No problem with wireless on racy530, wary530, wary514.1
Both slacko533pae and slacko533 have trouble connecting wireless,
most of the time I get a message that no wireless is found.
Sometimes... the first time after a pfix=ram it will connect,
but save the session and restart the wireless fails.
Do you think it could be a timing issue?
This machine has a Pentium-M 600/1600 MHz that changes speed,
which may account for the fact it sometimes (rarely) connects.
