This is the second version. I got a directory wrong in the first one. I have been able to duplicate the problems that each of you has with a PCI-based BCM43xx card, where the card worked in Gutsy Gibbon using bcm43xx, but can only receive in Hardy Heron using driver b43. I still don't have the "final" fix, but I have a work-around that will let you use the card now.
1. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and find the line that mentions bcm43xx. Comment it out by putting a # at the beginning. 2. Underneath the above line, add a new line containing ssb, which will prevent the loading of b43. If you have a b44 ethernet device, its module will have to be loaded manually once this change is made. 3. Install the bcm43xx firmware as described at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmwareinstallation, or get it from the Ubuntu site. I haven't bothered to look up the reference for that. Of course, if you used bcm43xx with Gutsy Gibbon and upgraded, the firmware may still be installed. If this doesn't work, please let me know.
