Hi Michael, If you've got the firmware enabled then that should be all you need. Is it just that the scan doesn't work? Can you manually connect to the nearest access point? Chris michael37 wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Did you use the restricted drivers manager to reload the firmware? If >> you look at

Argh. My problem is seemingly different. I rebooted in Feisty kernel and discovered that ESSID scanning didn't work either. It used to work before Gutsy upgrade (and I used fwcutter with Feisty). I suspect this has something to do with updated bcm43xx- fwcutter and with enabling it via the Rest

I'm having this troubles, too, using bcm43xx on a 4318 chip. NM tries to connect with 24M, which causes poor performance.
