I have just installed Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) on my Compaq AMD64 laptop.
Used the "Restricted Drivers Manager" to install the Broadcom driver.
It seems to have automated all the fwcutter stuff. Using the GUI
"network-admin" I set the SSID and WEP key and tried to activate eth1.
But I still can't get a connection to my wireless access point.
$ sudo /sbin/iwconfig eth1 # gives back the values I set with
network-admin
The relevant kernel modules installed (selected from lsmod output) are:
ieee80211softmac 34944 1 bcm43xx
ieee80211 38344 2 bcm43xx,ieee80211softmac
ieee80211_crypt 8192 2 ieee80211_crypt_wep,ieee80211
I did not look at lsmod output before doing the driver installation,
so I don't know if something changed.
What steps have I missed?
