I clicked on the menu bar: System, Administration, Hardware Drivers This gave a panel with a list of hardware needing proprietary drivers.
I clicked on the ENABLE box and followed the instructions and it all seemed to happen. My wireless lan showed the signal strengths for about 18 nearby networks as well as my own, but I could not connect. Among the files left behind was a shellscript: #!/bin/sh set -e dir=$(mktemp -d) cd "$dir" wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta_mimo.o rm -rf "$dir" chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy So I'm still tethered by my ethernet cable! -- Broadcom B43 wireless doesn't work in 8.04 worked in 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219775 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
