** Description changed: - Last week, I used Wubi, which installed Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 as a dual - boot onto my Gateway MX6422 laptop which has Broadcom BCM4318 for its' - wireless card. With an ethernet cable, it immediately connects to the - network (have a Belkin Wireless G MIMI Router). In addition to my - wireless router (which I set as hidden), two of my neighbors use - wireless networks. My Windoze XP system detects wireless networks - quickly and easily. The Ubuntu installation does not detect any wireless - networks, and even if I tell network manager to use a hidden wireless - network, it does not work. My research into the recommended fixes shows - many different solutions for BCM43** connection problems, some of which - seem quite extreme. I have done a few of the terminal commands and it - appears the Ubuntu is at least seeing the card. I see a lot of reports - that incorrectly say the next Ubuntu releases (8.04, 8.10) will fix the - BCM43** problem! Of the couple dozen or so possible solutions, which is - the correct one to use? + Last week, I used Wubi, which installed Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 as a dual boot onto my Gateway MX6422 laptop which has Broadcom BCM4318 for its' wireless card.
