I am running a Buffalo G PCMCIA wireless card which also uses the Broadcom drivers. I, with a fresh install of Hardy, get the same behavior as the OP. The output from dmesg is: "[ 390.486921] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed. [ 390.486938] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version 4). [ 407.562781] input: b43-phy0 as /devices/virtual/input/input25 [ 287.630413] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed. [ 287.630427] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version 4)." and from "lsmod | grep b43" b43 118176 0 rfkill 8592 19 rfkill_input,b43 mac80211 165652 1 b43 led_class 6020 1 b43 input_polldev 5896 1 b43 ssb 32772 2 b43,ohci_hcd " Again, the system acts like there is a wireless card and that it is active but no lights come on for the card and no wireless networks (I'm positive that there are several in the area) show up.
