A: con la placa Broadcom esta en cuestion
B: Con la placa Encore del otro thread qeu ya qeudo lista.

Algo no esta del todo bien (los firmware y todo eso estan ). No se
porque me tira en primera medida "Cell: Invalid"

alguien me podria tirar un poquito de luz sobre este asunto? gracias.

SAludos

PD: buscando y buscando por ahi, encontre una peticion online a la
gente de broadcom para que libere ese driver... desde ya que la firme
...
