BCM43xx wireless issue, Ubuntu
Before i begin: I know the network card is good, it works in Dapper
I upgraded to Edgy and almost every thing broke (I used updater- i know its bocken but i didn't find out until AFTER it messed up my system)
So I did a complete clean install of Xubuntu and followed the steps on the wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...bcm43xx/Dapper
No luck
I can get the card to scan, but it will not see my network.
I added the WPA data into /etc/network/interfaces
still no luck
i dont know what Im doing wrong.
And the windows users in my house are snikering cuzz i spent more time trying to update (2 days to crash and burn) and now to install the wireless card then i spend formating and re-installing thier systems (which i do about every other month or so so they know how long it takes)
Has anyone done this and got it to work? My card is a bcm4306, and i used the script sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh to download the firmware and install

This issue is SOLVED
I used Network Manager to set a STATIC IP, rebooted, changed to DCHP, rebooted again, BCM4306 now works with DCHP
