[ale] zv5000

[Philip Polstra]

I have one of those (or something simular).  I had it working great with FC3
and ndiswrapper for the longest time.  Then I upgraded something and it
stopped working.  The only way it would work is if I went into Windoze and
turned on the wireless (it uses a soft switch), then rebooted to linux.  The
problem is that somewhere along the way it decided to shut down the stupid
card when Windoze shuts down, so this doesn't work anymore for me.  I would
have spent more time trying to debug it, but my wife comandered the HP
laptop and I was forced to buy a new one with Centrino chipset that works
right out the door.

BTW, I have a friend that works a Broadcom.  I complain to him constantly
that they have no linux support.  I believe they might even use linux
in-house, but won't release a driver because of intel. property concerns.
Until they get off their butts, I for one will buy laptops that support
linux out of the box.
