The Dell Latitude D630 is a business line laptop made for corporate users who have a need for durability. This article will tell you how to get the basic components of the laptop running with Arch.

## Wireless Networking

### Intel 3945

The new installers will detect the Intel 3945 card and give you the option of installing the drivers and module for it but I did not have any success doing that. It is good to have a wired connection to begin with just to make sure you get everything up and running.

To ensure that the Intel 3945 wireless card will work post-installation you will need to install the linux-firmware package.

### Broadcom BCM4312

I got this to work using the proprietary Broadcom drivers in AUR. The package is `broadcom-wl`.

### Broadcom BCM4311

Some people have said that `broadcom-wl` have worked for them. If this does not work, then try B43 drivers. It worked for me by installing the `b43-firmware-classic` with B43. All of these are avaliable on the AUR.

## Xorg Configuration

Xorg configuration is relatively straightforward. If you have the nVidia Quadro card, you will want to install the NVIDIA or Nouveau drivers. If you only have Intel graphics, then install the `xf86-video-intel` package. It might be a good idea to read the Intel graphics page while installing to see if you need to do anything different.
