Hi Ian, you are right, a similar procedure works under 10.04 beta 1 (but not under 9.10) with Live CD: 1. Install the bcmwl-kernel-source package using the *Synaptic Package Manager* 2. Under the desktop menu *System > Administration > Hardware Drivers*, the driver Broadcom-STA-WLAN-Driver have to be installed (the other offered b43 makes errors) 3. sudo modprobe -r ssb b43 wl 4. sudo modprobe wl 5. choose WLAN you want to use under Network connectivity
Haven't found the link, because I trusted the SEARCH of the help sites. Next time I'll search a bit more manually ;-) But if I want to shutdown, some errors occurs, the CD will be ejected and nothing else happens (manually hold the power off necessary). It looks like that the system has after above procedure problems to unmount mounted devices and hangs after shutdown and eject. Looks like a workaround, not a solution. Nevertheless, a big THANX for your answer, definitely very helpful and competent!
