[Bug 210373] Re: Broadcom 4306 doesn't work! I cannot connect to any wireless network

[Lars Noodén]

The bugg appears to still be present in Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS on very old
compaq nx9000, it is possible to see a network using

K Menu
 ->System Settings
 ->Network Connections
 ->Wireless
 ->Add
 ->Scan

but not to actually connect to it even after installing b43-fwcutter.
