That's really interesting. My Latitiude c840 works fine with Linux.
Everything except the winmodem worked out of the box. The modem (a pctel)
took a third-party driver. No Broadcom anywhere near this thing (nor
would I want it!); the NIC is a 3c905C.
You might want to think twice before making sweeping generalizations.
I readily agree with your stance on Broadcom, though. Ick.
