..... so, inspired by a comment in another bug report, I switched off MAC ADDRESS access control in my router. This seemed to solve the problem, but the router registered the MAC ADDRESS as 00 00 00 1a 73 82. A few minutes later the correct MAC ADDRESS ( 00 1a 73 82 68 cc ) appeared on the router, but with a hostname "unknown".
The connection worked erratically for a few minutes, but then stopped. I looked for it in the Ubuntu network manager, but my wireless network had disappeared ( although all the other wireless networks were still displayed). So I rebooted Ubuntu and my network appeared back in the list. -- 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
