Excellent! I am now able to wirelessly connect to my WEP-encrypted router with no difficulty. Although it now appears to work well, this should be a MUCH more automated process when using the (KDE) restricted driver manager. Hopefully it will be fixed in the 8.04 final release.
As a side note, in Gutsy (which automatically fetched and installed the firmware), after configuring my connection to my non-broadcasting WEP router, I was completely unable to connect to a friend's open but non- broadcasting router. I think this was with the bcm43xx driver, not b43 as I am using now. I will test my ability to connect to his router this afternoon and report any problems, if you think that would help. -- Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver will not enable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
