Re: [Bug 365857] Re: bcm4328 wifi card doesn't work with a clean install
check out the drivers from linuxwireless.org im not sure if that will help with the wireless problems that you might be encountering. but i agree with you that an offline installation method is needed.

if anyone is still having issues check out linuxwireless.org. i have a bcm4311 rev2 and i found out some information that was included already for my card, but might not be for the 4328. normally though i use the wired network then the hardware devices manager to enable the drive. reboot and it should work. this is the website. http://linuxwireless.org/ also on the website it seems like the have an irc channel on freenode as well linux-wireless if further help is needed. 2009/6/10 Fabián Rodríguez magic...@ubuntu.com I hate stating the obvious but can anyone confirm they still had the problem after applying updates (using wired network of course) ? -- bcm4328 wifi card doesn't work with a clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365857 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Jonathan Aquilina -- bcm4328 wifi card doesn't work with a clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

firstly depending on the revision of your wifi card i use the bw43-fwcutter. revision one should work out of the box with that installed. revision 2 i have noticed that patches are needed for the 2.6.24 kernel. i have tried the driver mentioned above, which is proprietary and it didnt work. i switched to the fwcutter and things worked outa the box for me even after a reboot. -- bcm4328 wifi card doesn't work with a clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
