Thanks for all your help David but i am not having much joy here: > bTry uninstalling broadcom-sta broadcom-sta-* was not installed.
The driver that it installs when i go through: software sources --> Additional drivers, is "bcmwl-kernel-source" Both with "bcmwl-kernel-source" installed and without it i get no wireless whether or not i have "b43-fwcutter" and "firmware-b43-installer" installed. Any ideas? James.
