I have an old HP ("Compaq") Presario laptop which I ineherited. (Based
on my experience I would not buy another HP, for the reasons that
CrYpTiC_MauleR mentioned.) I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (up-to-date), dual-
booted with Windows XP SP2 (up-to-date). My system does NOT have a
Nvidia graphics card.
Wireless works fine under XP (using the bcmwl5.sys driver). Wireless
worked fine under Ubuntu 7.10 with ndiswrapper and the bcm43xx
restricted driver (though it took me a while to get that working).
Wireless does not work for me with Ubuntu 8.04, although the Hardware
Drivers applet shows the Broadcom STA wireless driver is "enabled" and
its status is "in use". I tried blacklisting the modules as per
pstucke's earlier suggestion, but this didn't help.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, except to point out the problem can
occur without there being a conflict with a Nvidia card.
