WiFi is >Broadcom. Works with Ubuntu 8.04. I have AMD 3000+ with ATI radeon 200 express. Its woorking fine on open suse 10.3... I downloaded the driver from the ati site only. They gave me a file with .run extension and auomatically installs itself. But i had some trouble with configuring it. Had to set the resolutions, screen size etc myself through terminal. But now its running just fine, the compiz/xgl effetcs are also doing good except for the 2D motocross game, which on executing hangs my system. I would suggest that you aticonfig command after installing the file and configure it yourself. And also look at xorg.conf for more options, you might as well need to modify it (i did). But you are using ubuntu...so i'm not sure about that...i have not used ubuntu as for now...but i do plan to install it. Thanx!
