I have an Acer Ferrari 4000. I installed Hardy and it complained about the firmware on the Broadcom chip so I followed the link and updated it.
Ok, so now wireless works fine in Ubuntu, but when I boot into Windows the wireless is broken, it will see networks but when u try to connect to one with WPA it will not connect and with WEP it connects but you cannot ping or do anything. I even reformatted/reinstalled, same problems.. I know this is now a problem with Windows, not Ubuntu BUT by following the firmware instructions as per Ubuntu my wireless is messed up now and will not function in Windows. The worst part is I want to sell my laptop and now I cant sell it with broken wireless. HELP!!!!!! I'm worried updating the firmware has busted my laptop now and Acer wont help. How do I get my old firmware back and WHY did I have to update it in the first place since wireless worked FINE on a previous Ubuntu version.
