Ubuntu Broadcom wireless driver
|
Ubuntu 8.04 will not detect your broadcom wireless network card, but no worries...there is an easy fix.
1st, hardwire your new laptop. Now you should be connected to the net.
Open up your terminal and install the driver using apt-get. From what I've read there is a bug using the driver manager.
Now to install your new broadcom driver, use the following cmd:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
I rebooted 1st before removing the hardwire, but from what I've read, you should be good to go at this point without a reboot.
