In past Ubu’s (Edgy, Fiesty, Gutsy), the network manager would bring up a list of the local networks it detected. Now, the network manager just asks you to manually type in a network name. This really stinks. It’s like they made network manager worse. You can go to an internet hot spot, but w/o actually knowing the name of the network to hook to, you’re screwed. I guess that’s Ubu for you … two steps forward, one step back. Wireless has been one of the big hurdles in Ubu for a long time, but I’ve never had any problems until now. Crazy.

I got it solved. I just connected a cat5 cable from the laptop to the back of my wireless router and let the system update. It took about 30 mins and installed 230 updates. After that I was able to configure the wifi but I did have to reboot several times before I could get the WPA password to work properly, Now its all fine.

I have the same problem but worse as I cant see ANY wireless drivers in my list when I do the first step above. My Broadcom device is a 4320. The laptop is an HP Pavilion zv6000. I am running Ubuntu 8.10. I am a novice to this O/S so step by step instruction would be very much appreciated.
