    So the D600 (or possibly newer Dell laptops) have the better
    part... maybe. The 'M' designation might also be about low power
    ... but how much does batterylife matter when you're plugged into
    ethernet :).

    Eric> Strange - it shows BCM5702, then BCM5703

    If you look in the code, you'll probably find that one of the lines is
    being more specific about the chip.
