Hi all, I installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 to test that things work, as mentioned by Cody on #5. Differences:
- This is a full hard-disk installation as opposed to running from the Live CD. - I'm running 10.04.3 with kernel 2.6.32-33 as opposed to Cody's 10.04.1 (I think?) with kernel 2.6.32-24. - I'm using the wl module, as installed by jockey-gtk (STA module) or by installing bcmwl-kernel-source package. Cody's original report on Maverick has the same module apparently, but comment #5 doesn't state which module he used for his Lucid test The reason why I'm focusing on the differences is that, even when using Lucid which was supposed to work, I still have the same behavior as originally reported, i.e. wireless shows as "disabled" until I remove dell_laptop module, at which point things start working "automagically". I even went down to Lucid's original 2.6.32-21 kernel, installed the drivers and had the exact same behavior. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated.
