Public bug reported:
I own a Linksys WPC54G V3.1, a PCMCIA wireless adapter which I understand is
based on a Broadcom chipset. The card doesn't work out-of-the-box, and while
I'm not sure it's the appropriate thing to do, I've tried installing the
Synaptic package
bcmwl-kernel-source. Installing this package superficially appears to have
built and installed a kernel module, however, when I tried inserting the card,
both before and after a system restart, I don't get any indication that a
wireless network is available.
dmesg seems to recognize the card insertion, but I don't see any
significant follow-on activity.
I've seen a number of online posts about this card and chipset, but most
of the threads are old, and do not address how to get this card working
under Karmic.
