I use Ubuntu 5.10, "Breezy", and it works very well. Dapper introduces the bcm43xx project's free driver for the Broadcom wireless integrated in the R3000, but it still requires some configuration since Ubuntu cannot distribute the needed Broadcom firmware legally - at least this is how I have interpreted the situation. I haven't even looked into how Dapper handles this, but I take it you have read up on the available docs?
I use ndiswrapper. I know - eww! - but it works, sort of. I do keep a little spare partition for experimenting with the devicescape based bcm43xx drivers but I haven't tried any recent releases. Håkan On 5/3/06, hcl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Since i upgraded from ubuntu breezy to ubuntu dapper about 2 weeks ago, the wireless button on my r3000 stopped responding, and is set to "off" by default. for a long time, i believed this button was entirely hardware controlled, but, apparently not. Whenever i boot into windows, windows activates the button and it works normally again.. but when i reboot, the wireless gets set to off again, with the button unresponsive.. currently, this is crippling my ability to have wireless in linux, which worked fine for over a year.. My current guess is that some setting in the bios got messed up, which is disabling the button on boot... However, with the crippled bios hp puts on the r3000, i'm obviously not able to do anything about it. I was wondering whether there are any people on this list who are suffering from the same problem, and whether anyone might be able to help me solve this issue, and get my laptop to re-enable the button.. I already tried hp support, but obviously, they're about as helpful as how far i can throw them..
