Supported Chips
Please note: at least BCM4313 is not fully supported. Some models appears to work (users reported success), but some don't, and there's no indication that this is going to change. For example: http://marc.info/?t=138817851800006&r=1&w=2
3. The types of available drivers are:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless
Driver Description
brcm80211 Kernel driver open-source version
b43 Kernel driver reverse-engineered version
broadcom-wl Broadcom driver restricted-licenseDriver selection
To know what driver(s) are operable on the computer's Broadcom wireless network device, the device ID and chipset name will need to be detected. Cross-reference them with the driver list of supported brcm80211 and b43 devices.

sixofeight: suppose it'll work I voluntary use my fun weekend to test new slitaz. Hopefully open source driver can be better, but humor me I don't really understand it except I can watch youtube without flash trouble now 
alanyih, 4313 driver is not stable but provided tazpkg works really well, speed is awesome. anyway, thanks for your help..

It is now three years ago, that I downloaded SliTaz 4.0, which I used since that time.
Since the release of SliTaz 5.0 RC2 I testet slitaz-rolling.iso almost every week, hoping, that some obvious problems could be solved by the programmers. As the spreadsheet startet to work again, I hoped, that the problem with the disappearing mouse in the framebuffer device driver could be solved too, but I learned, that the framebuffer device driver is buggy and that my problem could be solved by installing the Intel driver.
So I built my own iso based on a slitaz-rolling with the intel driver, a favorite clearlooks deepsky theme, a panel at the bottom, bigger fonts and a few of my favorite applications and their translations in about ten languages in in a rootfs0.gz, so that testing would be more fun.
Doing this I found that i18n.cfg had problems with a couple of languages, and I posted the mistakes I found, and they were corrected in i18n.cfg. Unfortunately the SliTaz 5.0 RC3 used an older version of the syslinux package with an old i18n.cfg, which still had the mistakes.
I appreciate the 4 in 1 design of slitaz-rolling.iso, because it helps me better to understand, how SliTaz is being built. Unfortunately SliTaz 5.0 RC3 has only one rootfs.gz. Replacing the Midori browser makes me sad, after testing it over years. Therefore I hope to have a final RC4 being similar to the current slitaz-rolling.iso, which has still problems with tazpkg and tazx for the Greek language, which has it own alphabet. At least SliTaz 5.0 RC3 came at the right time, and I had the opportunity to say, that I prefer the Midori browser and the 4 in 1 design.

Problems I face with R3:
- No WiFi (neither USB stick nor CardBus Adapter)
- Doesn't let me install it on HDD via tazpanel.
Seems like RC3 is useless for me at this point and I'll go with RC2
