Been doing some research, confirmed that there is nothing in my "blacklist" file, and I have installed and run B43-fwcutter. bcmwl- kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases are also installed. The broadcom- sta.. are not. "Modprobe ndswrapper" confirms that that module is not found.
What is strange, is that if I have my wired connection plugged in, it connects (as "normal") to the wired connection, but then it also autoconnects to the Wireless one! The "radar" icon disappears, but I do show 2 "Active network connections", wired and wireless. If I unplug the wired connection, the wireless icon appears and I am still connected wirelessly. There's a bunch of posts on teh Ubuntu forums on the b43 and theBCM4318, and while many are outdated, and some reference to a few official and "homebrew" sites. OK, waitaminute - there IS now a "Restricted Driver" on this machine. Activated it and now, we are one step close. I get the "there are wireless networks available" pop-up, and by clicking on it it autoconnects. This is acceptable to me, but I still would prefer a "no point-and-click" autoconnect, as the other machines do. I am bowing out for now, but there is obviously both a need for this to be addressed in Lucid, and actual "official" page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx needs to note that this may not "autoconnect" as is now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295796 Title: [orinoco][intrepid] Network Manager does not reconnect to hidden SSID after reboot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
