I followed the instructions for installing the BCM43xx wireless card, but i cant get it to see my wireless network
lspci returns:
02:06.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

After installing installing bcm43xx-fwcutter
i modprobe bcm43xx
and get the following results:

vidd@vidd-laptop:~$ iwconfig

I have set up the network-admin to enable the wifi, set my ESSID, set up the encryption, and tried both static and DHCP IP address without success

Im running Xubuntu, and im having this issue with dapper, edgy and fiesty

You can't get it to see your network? What are the results of
sudo iwlist eth1 scan

To be perfectly honest, the native bcm43xx drivers are, at the moment, a bit ****. I'd recommend you go down the ndiswrapper route.
