An old Gateway laptop (W730-K8X) with the Broadcomm with b43-fwcutter
and ndiswrapper installed. it's a BCM4318 variant.

This is a fresh, updated Lucid install.

The wireless connection is "hidden" and originally I could not get a
connection at all, unless I entered "sudo modprobe b43" at each boot.  I
then added "modprobe b43" to the /etc/rc.local file so at least I get a
"there are wireless networks available.. " dialog at each boot, but I
still have to click, password, scroll, click each time. The information
is there and it works;  there is just no "Automatic connection..)

It must have something to do with this particular PC, as there are 3
other wireless "Lucid Ubuntu's" that boot and autoconnect.

Oh and "Connect automatically" and "Available to all users" are both
checked.  :)
