I have an acer 5024WLMi laptop. It's a BCM4318 wireless card. As el es, before Hardy, I used acer_acpi module and BCM43xx driver or ndiswrapper (for few networks). But now in Hardy, if I understand, the driver is b43 (kernel 2.6.24) and acer_acpi is enabled by default in hardy and also in the new kernel 2.6.25. No need build modules any more. :)
So, I tried LiveCD Hardy beta, but the wireless led didn't blink. The acer_acpi module was enabled and /proc/acpi/acer/wireless was 1. So, I tried to install the new b43 firmware by b43-fwcutter and reloaded acer_acpi module. Now, it's works. ;) I'm very glad for acer_acpi module embedded in hardy. I waiting for the release now and hope b43 firmware problem will be fix before. @el es : Thanks for your solution and obviously ubuntu developers for yours amazing jobs. -- restricted manager in hardy fails to install correct firmware b43-fwcutter - solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
