[LUNI] Trouble with broadcom wireless 4311 in Ubuntu 7.10

[Steve Pribyl]

apt-get fwcutter, use that to cut the firm ware out of the driver.

 2 ) Copy your windows driver to your desktop

Use this driver with preference to any other:
http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o
if this fails, your could use any of these:

    * Copy the driver from the CD that came with the Card
    * Copy it over from your windows partition if you have access to it,
it will be located here: /Windows/System32/Drivers/bcmwl5.sys
    * Obtain it from here -http://sidulus.textdrive.com/bcmwl5sys.zip
    * Get any driver for your card of any date from their website - use
this if initially you are not successful first tome try some
newer/older drivers

Works pretty well and slightly more plesant then ndis wrapper.
