Hello Ben,

Thanks for your response. I'm a little hazy on exactly when the card stopped 
working.

I used the WiFi card to download all the software that transformed the 
system from Breezy to Drake. I believe the card stopped working just before 
the reboot. It definitely wasn't working after the reboot.

I have another computer I want to upgrade to 6.06. I'll watch that one 
closely and give you a more precise report. Hopefully I can get to that this 
evening.

Fortunately, I got my Belkin card working last night using some outstanding 
information from the Ubuntu Forums. That particular article was titled 
(howto) General 6.06 - How to: Broadcom Wireless cards.

This method doesn't rely on ndiswrapper. It allows users to install firmware 
for cards that are already recognized by the system, which mine was.

Thanks for your interest. I was about to reinstall Breezy and throw up my 
hands. I'd like to help others who might be having this problem, so I'll 
definitely get back to you.

Is there anything else you want me to watch for when I update the other 
computer?

Best,

Elliott L. Minor
