Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10 Karmic (Release Candidate)

On a TabletPC: HP Pavilion TX2690 , using Broadcom BCM4322 WIFI-card.


This is strange... I installed the "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver". 

At home, I find my wireless network, and is able to connect. No problem. 
(WPA-encrypted non-hidden network).
At work, I cannot fint the wireless network at all! Even though I could with 
Jaunty (this is a clean install). And at work we also have a WPA-encrypted 
non-hidden network.

I can't really understand this... While at work, It does find two other
wireless networks from our neighbours, with very low strengt. The
wireless network is physically mounted only 3-4 metres away from me here
at work. And it works great at another laptop, and on my iPhone. But
using Karmic on this laptop, with the Broadcom STA driver, the laptop
can't even see the wireless network.


I don't know what I should include... please tell if you need more info!


Thanks in advance.

Kind regards from Norway,
Jørn.
