Man, I am having a heck of a time getting this to work in 8.04! Oddly
enough, everything worked perfectly in 7.10- all I had to do there was
click the checkbox in the Restricted Drivers Manager. When I installed
8.04 I did a complete wipe, btw. Figured it was best to start fresh.
Anyway, at this point after multiple installs, removals, purges and
other suggestions in these forums... Hardware Drivers now says the
Broadcom B43 wireless driver is both enabled and in use. The green WiFi
light is on. Through the Network Manager tray icon I can see various
nearby APs, but cannot connect to any of them. Once I select one (or
enter in one manually), the icon just keeps spinning and neither circle
ever turns green. The NetworkManager process goes to 50% cpu (core duo,
I think it's really taking up 100% of one of the processors?) and
basically from there all I can do to get a network connection (even
wired) is reboot.
This is a Dell Inspiron 6400, with the 4311 mini pci:
