status: this attempt fails to let me connect.
even after a reboot.
a check of system -> Administration -> HardwareDrivers reports
--no proprietary drivers present
--Broadcom B43 wireless driver (checked box) Enabled (greenDot) In
use
===================
from terminal:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 comes back with:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-
Associated
(tx stuff, retry stuff)
Encryption key:off
(3 lines of other stuff)
=============
based on comments from other threads,
whatever b43xxx code is packed with the ubuntu 8.04 OS is suspect,
so roll-your-own is popular.
last gasp: somehow I'm thinking that the ESSID field should be
populated,
but I'm not smart enough yet to do it.
==============
thx to all, will continue to work at it....
