Ubuntu Help

Mnementh:
That was sort of the problem, and still not it.  The version of ndiswrapper provided through Synaptic wasn't current enough, so I had to download the source and build it myself.

That got the driver working and the wireless card recognized, but I can't get it to connect.

Fucking broadcom chips.

Tokuma:
Do you get any errors, or does it just not connect? If you havn't already tried, try configuring the wireless card manually using 'ifconfig'. I don't remember any of the arguments you have to use off hand, but you should be able to search the Ubuntu forums/google and find what you need quickly.

Broadcom chips can be very evil at times.

Mnementh:
It is working now.  I reinstalled with the same driver from a different source and it is connecting just fine.

Weird.
